# Chandy Oommen defends NSS chief as asset amid criticism 2026-08-18T08:52:15+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Congress MLA Chandy Oommen has praised Nair Service Society (NSS) general secretary G. Sukumaran Nair as an “asset to Keralam”, pushing back against allegations from Kerala Congress (B) leader K.B. Ganesh Kumar. The Hindu reports that Mr Oommen called attempts to insult Mr Nair “extremely vile” and said each person has their own style, which should not be distorted. Mr Ganesh Kumar had alleged that Mr Nair’s relatives were appointed to key posts in NSS-run institutions, questioned financial transactions involving a bank and a college in Tamil Nadu, and accused Mr Nair of dissolving a taluk union undemocratically. He said he would present his case in a “people’s court” rather than file a legal case. Mr Nair had earlier responded that Mr Ganesh Kumar should pursue legal means if he had objections to the NSS’s functioning. The NSS is a prominent organisation representing the Nair community in Kerala. ## Coverage - thehindu.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
