Industries Minister P. Rajeeve has said that the Kochi-Muziris Biennale offers a memorable experience and has received immense support from the people.
The Minister, who went around the prime venue of Aspinwall House, said the theme of the biennale, ‘In Our Veins Flow Ink and Fire’ was significant. The words and texts that reflect today’s times are rich in political content, and the visuals and images at the biennale absolutely confirm and demonstrate it, he added.
The inclusion of ‘Idam‘, a space which exclusively features artworks of artists from Kerala, makes the biennale an art fair that nobody should miss. It encourages not only the world art, but the unique artistic expression of Kerala also. Kochi Biennale Foundation president Bose Krishnamachari received the Minister.
Mr. Rajeeve shared his thoughts with German Ambassador Dr. Philipp Ackermann, who met him at the exhibition venue.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
