Elaborating on the sessions at the seminar, Mr. Kunhikkannan said minority politics and freedom of expression would be the main topics of discussion. In the session on freedom of expression, K.S. Cultural activists are organising programmes in protest against what they perceive as a threat to freedom of expression and the alleged spectre of “fascist tendencies” of right-wing politics, especially in the wake of the murder of activist-journalist Gauri Lankesh. Vimala, leader of the All-India Democratic Women’s Association from Karnataka, a long-time associate of Gauri Lankesh, will speak. The Kozhikode Samskarika Vedi is organising a lecture by academic Sunil P. Elayidom on Thursday on the topic ‘Killing politics and dying democracy’.
