The Kerala legislative assembly on Monday passed a unanimous resolution demanding the recall of Lakshadweep administrator Praful Khoda Patel over the recent rules which have sparked protests on the island. The resolution was moved by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
The resolution stated that the ‘peace-loving’ people of the island are undergoing a difficult situation as their culture and tradition are under threat following dictatorial measures being taken by the administrator ignoring local protests’.
The resolution also pointed out the Sangh Parivar is making the island another laboratory. ‘Even coconut trees are painted with saffron colour in the name of beautification’ it read and stressed that ‘this can’t be allowed at any cost’
