Reminding the government that Zameer had issued unlawful statements even in the past, he said that Zameer being anti-social, needs to be jailed. "The media has reported that even after expiry of visa period, 14 persons are continuing to stay at Padarayanapura and it is suspected that Zameer would have provided shelter to them. Therefore, he reasoned that Zameer should also be divested of the assembly membership.
Nalin welcomed the ordinance promulgated by the state government to protect the interests of corona warriors. "On account of this step, the doctors and ASHA workers now have got protection and the trust in the police department is restored. I thank the opposition parties for the support they have been extending to the fight against corona initiated by the government, he stated.
BJP district president Sudarshan Moodbidri, general secretary Sudhir Shetty Kannur and spokesperson Jagadish Shenava, were present.
