Says there should be space for criticism in democracy but even writers are reluctant to offer creative criticism

Another Kerala writer hits out at 'autocracy'

CLOSE on the heels of M T Vasudevan Nair's outbursts against authoritarianism, the venue of the Kerala Literature Festival (KLM) on Sunday witnessed another powerful indictment on autocracy.

Writer M Mukundan said that there should be a space for criticism for the growth of democracy but even writers are reluctant for creative criticism, he points out.

Interacting with reporters after his session at the Kerala Literature Festival (KLF) in Kozhikode on Sunday, he said there should be a space for fearless criticism in India and Kerala.
