Plea in Supreme Court against Kerala swearing-in event
The Hindu
It accuses State govt of ‘flouting’ COVID-19 norms
An activist has filed a petition in the Supreme Court accusing the Kerala government of “flouting” COVID-19 norms by organising the swearing-in ceremony of the newly-elected LDF government under Pinarayi Vijayan on May 20 before a gathering of over 500 invitees in Thiruvananthapuram, which is already under “triple lockdown”. “The Government of Kerala, which on one end is enforcing lockdowns and forcing common public to confine themselves to the four walls of their homes, give up their livelihood and other pleasures, is on the other hand spending huge amounts from the State Exchequer for organising a super-spreader public event to show its strength and celebrate its victory in the recently held election,” the petition filed by activist K.M. Shajahan, represented by advocate Usha Nandini V., said.
