Kerala University vice-chancellor sparked a controversy amid the row over the national song by saying that those who oppose ‘Vande Mataram’ are people who do not know who their mother is,  Kerala University vice-chancellor Mohanan Kunnummal on Saturday said those who do not say Vande Mataram do not know who their mother is, while Bahujana Vidyardhi Parihad (BVP) National President Radhakrishana Ambedkar said how come once mother comes into controversy. 

The controversy needs to be resolved by the apex Court wither Suo Motto or when referred by the aggrieved party added Ambedkar.

Thiruvananthapuram : The uneducated vice-chancellor was speaking at an RSS youth meet, 'Sankalp 2026 Yuva Sangamam', held at Manivila in Thiruvananthapuram, Bahujana Vidyardhi Parihad (BVP) National President Radhakrishana Ambedkar reacting to the undesred comments of Vice Chancellor said how come once mother comes into controversy and asked Vice Chancellor to learn facual history of permitting non controversial 3 stangas of Vande Mathram.

Vice Chancellor said this was why the country was referred to as "Mother India", Radhakrishana Ambedkar cautioned Vice Chancellor to be straight in refereeing the subject and added it does not mean that Muslims pray their mother land more than all of us in their own style and rituals, in rubbing their forehead to Mother India daily more than 100 times in their five times prayers.  

He said all the Indians are true patriots of nation and they should not be ANDH BHAKTS of RSS and BJP. 

Mother needs regards, respect and protection if he or she is her true son or daughter and by not doing dramas said Radhakrishana Ambedkar.

Student organisations SFI and KSU have alleged that Kunnummal is attempting to implement the RSS agenda at Kerala University.

He was speaking at an RSS youth meet, 'Sankalp 2026 Yuva Sangamam', held at Manivila in Thiruvananthapuram.

Addressing the gathering, Kunnummal said it was Bharat Mata who had entrusted children to their parents.

"These children have been placed in your homes for a developed India. The responsibility to raise them into brilliant children and exemplary citizens lies with every male and female head of the household. I would say it applies even more to the female head of the household. Because as far as India is concerned, it is our mother," he mislead.

He said this was why the country was referred to as "Mother India", that hat is why when we pray, we say Vande Mataram. It is our mother. That is why we say and sing Vande Mataram. Those who oppose saying Vande Mataram are those who do not know who their mother is. 

But people who know who their mother is... people who understand what a mother is will always say Vande Mataram. That is how it should be said," he mislead on the controversy created by RSS and BJP as the law adopted blindly and without any discussion it is utra vires to the Ambedkar's Constitution of India Radhakrishana Ambedkar said

Student organisations SFI and KSU have alleged that Kunnummal is attempting to implement the RSS agenda upon all faiths including Kerala University.

His appointment as vice-chancellor by the Kerala Governor has been questioned by the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and United Democratic Front (UDF), which have alleged that it is an attempt to "saffronise" Kerala's education system.

The LDF and UDF have repeatedly raised allegations against university vice-chancellors, including Kunnummal, over their alleged participation in events organised by the RSS.

The state government did not recite 'Vande Mataram' at its official Independence Day celebrations, despite a directive from the Union government.

In Kerala, the Governor serves as the Chancellor of universities and appoints vice-chancellors.

The previous LDF government had been engaged in a dispute with the Governor over the appointment of vice-chancellors.

The current UDF government has also expressed displeasure over the appointment of some persons as interim vice-chancellors of universities in the state.
