Satheesan says order on curbs has undermined powers of legislature
Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan said in the Assembly on Thursday that the Chief Secretary had “disrespected” the legislature by issuing an order contradicting a Rule 300 statement made on the floor of the House by Health Minister Veena George. Raising a point of order, Mr. Satheesan said Ms. George had informed the House on Wednesday that the government had lifted the curbs on non-essential retail, some in-person services and public travel from July 5. The Opposition benches had welcomed the statement. The UDF felt it was high time Kerala learnt to live with COVID-19. Pandemic mitigation and economic revival should march in tandem.More Related News
