They are not able to answer the question whether the coast of Kerala should be completely destroyed in order to build a port for Adani at Vizhinjam. The answer they give is to look at the faces of the Christian priests and nuns and shout obscenities at them!

In response to the question of whether the entire coast of Kerala should be destroyed in order to build a port in Vizhinjam for the Hindu corporate Adani who shadow-runs the state administration, Pinarayi Vijayan who is the chief minister of the ruling faction of the Marxist party in the state, Adani who builds this port for him under central and state finance, and the port protection committee they hastily assembled by paying immediate money, have not been able to come up together with anything except police force and political threat for such a long time, in defense of the fishermen's strike there raising the issue of marine and terrestrial environmental destruction presently and in future from this port construction.
Their response to that question is to, looking at the faces of the Christian priests and nuns who are leading that struggle call them obscenities in the presence of the police and with their support. The Vizhinjam Coastal Police and the Trivandrum City Police Commissioner are unable to use the law to take cases against those who call them these obscenities, as this is in accordance with the orders and at the behest of the central BJP, Hindu Rashtra leader Adani and the Kerala Marxist leader and chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The question that perplexes them is whether law or political compliance is important.
Fishermen who were evicted and displaced for the implementation of, for making room for, this project are still living in cement warehouses years later. Even the State Human Rights Commission has not taken any case for it. Because it is Adani, they do not see any violation of human rights in it. After the construction of this project started, there has been no resettlement of those whose houses were washed away by the sea by breaking into the land and taking away the shore from Kanyakumari and Trivandrum to Quilon and Alleppey due to this unscientific and anti-environmental harbor construction. Most of them are still lying settled on the bare shore vulnerable with their babies. Where else could they go!
It is without addressing any of these issues that Adani, Pinarayi Vijayan, Kerala Police and Adani Port Protection Group are going on with the construction of this port with the intercession and blessings of the High Court, and that too on 27 November 2022 throwing stones at the fishermen protesters to provoke outrage and causing them to be beaten and arrested, and even getting the bishops who were at that time in their churches and running the church affairs arrested and taken cases against, accusing them of opposing lord Adani. The report is that the policemen themselves threw the stones and start the things and end things once and for all, whether it ended or not. If the ruling Marxist party’s youth brigade the DYFI put on the policemen’s clothes the policemen themselves gave and threw stones at the protesters, who would say anyone other than the policemen threw it? Who else is responsible other than the Commissioner of Police and his team posted there?
The people from Pinarayi Vijayan and Adani to those in the state committees of the Marxist Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Vizhinjam Port Protection Committee which they formed and is led by them, who knows that even though it is the deepest part of the sea and that’s why it is selected for an international very large ships-berthing port, it is also in such parts where obstacles placed before the sea currents by way of bunds and other obstructions to the ocean currents made are the places where the sea becomes the roughest and causes the most destructive waves and sea shore erosion, have loony waves in their heads!
While the port could be built anywhere upto and including in Tamilnadu, it is to build it in Kerala when Pinarayi Vijayan is still alive and still in power so that by taking and giving away the public land and also money from the public treasury he can get any bribe, make any appointment, that he invited the appropriate Adani to Kerala and to do it in Vizhinjam itself. Along with this, the public land involved in this which was gifted by his government to Adani, and those lands seized from the people after evicting them and handed over by his government, all becomes real estate related to and owned by the port project which could be sold at will at a thousand-times-higher price. That’s the corruption potential in this. That’s why, and it’s because of seeing which money, the Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has been sticking his tongue out and twirling it in the air and telling lies in media interviews and press conferences.
