Delivering the customary address on the opening day of the Budget session, the Governor said "the Government is duty bound to implement the judgement and uphold our constitution."
As part of carrying forwarding the progressive values of the renaisance movement, the government had extended support to the suggestions of social organizations to mobilise a 'Women Wall' across the state as a symbol of the united will of Kerala women in their struggle for gender justice.
The fact is that more than 50 lakh women gathered on the historic evening gives us faith and confidence in protecting and promoting the secular and progressive values that Kerala is known for.
