The Kerala Legislative Assembly on Thursday saw the ruling LDF and the Opposition UDF unanimously adopting a resolution condemning the Centre for the Farm Bills 2020 enacted by the Parliament and expressing solidarity with the farmers agitating against the legislation.
The special Session of the Legislative Assembly was convened by the Governor following repeated directive by the CPI(M)-led LDF Government to convene the House.
Though the Government had asked Governor Arif Mohammed Khan to convene the Session last week, the latter had declined to do so stating that there were no situation that mandated a special Session. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who was hurt by the Governor’s stance on the issue did not yield an inch and pressed for convening the special session which the Governor had to oblige.
The Chief Minister who introduced the resolution gave a piece of his mind to the Governor in harshest term. But Vijayan maintained silence about Prime Minister Narendra Modi despite the demand by KC Joseph of the Congress to rebuke Modi.
