VD Satheesan celebrated his 62nd birthday in his constituency of Paravur, where he attended a school bus flag-off ceremony at the Paravur Government Higher Secondary School and cut a birthday cake prepared by the school staff and PTA. Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his birthday wishes, greeting him on the occasion. Additionally, BDJS President and SNDP Yogam Vice President Tushar Vellappally paid a personal visit to congratulate him.

Following their meeting at the Secretariat, Tushar Vellappally clarified to the media that the visit was purely friendly and carried no political motives. He mentioned that they share an old friendship and explained that he could not attend the swearing-in ceremony earlier due to being abroad. Addressing questions about SNDP Yogam’s political stance, Tushar stated that the organization has no official policy to oppose or support any specific political party, and any past criticisms by SNDP General Secretary Vellappally Natesan were personal opinions.

In another development, the suspension of Attingal Model Higher Secondary School Principal S. Jawad was revoked on his retirement day. S. Jawad had been suspended just days before his retirement following a complaint over a Facebook post criticizing the leadership. The suspension was lifted on humanitarian grounds following direct instructions from the administration, bringing major relief to the retiring educator.

The source also highlights Satheesan’s response to recent cyber attacks and media queries. Addressing the media regarding central agency raids, Satheesan asserted his right to decide when to respond to questions, emphasizing that he needs time to study the matters first. He also rejected comparisons to Pinarayi Vijayan on media handling, while clarifying that the state government has no role in the actions taken by central investigative agencies.
