Thiruvananthapuram, June 19 (UNI) Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has condemned the decision of the Congress -led Opposition to boycott the proceedings of the Loka Kerala Sabha.
“No one should turn their backs on the Loka Kerala Sabha, the conference of our pravasies. When discussions were held with their leaders prior to the launch of the event, they indicated their willingness to participate," the CM said this while addressing online the valedictory meeting of the third edition of the Loka Kerala Sabha which concluded here on Saturday.
"They said this in the Assembly session too. What was the reason behind the boycotting of Loka Kerala Sabha if they could attend the meetings of the MPs and public meetings ?."
"This is an utterly ridiculous position. The expatriate brothers want the development of the State. The state, the people and the Malayalees across the world are moving forward with this objective in mind. The boycott shows that the opposition does not want this to happen.”
He further explained the development plans adopted by the State Government in the field of higher education.
Saying that the state will prepare a package to be a leader in the field of 5G network services, he said it will be implemented in the four IT corridors and a high-level committee will be formed for this.
