NSS terms Mannam Samadhi row ‘politically motivated’

The National Service Scheme (NSS) has labeled the Mannam Samadhi controversy as 'politically motivated.' The organization's general secretary, G. Sukumaran Nair, issued a clarification amid criticism from Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan and Union Minister Suresh Gopi, who accused the NSS of discrimination in granting permissions to pay homage at the memorial of its founder, Mannath Padmanabhan.
