The incident occurred during the inauguration of a 'madrassa' building in Malappuram district, where students were felicitated recently.
A day after slamming a Muslim scholar who allegedly reprimanded organisers of an event in Malappuram for inviting a girl on stage to receive a reward, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on Thursday said he was "disappointed" by the silence of the political, social, and economic leadership of the country on the issue.
He also said he was sad at the silence of the leadership in Kerala.
"I am so deeply disappointed that the whole political leadership is silent about it. And not just the political leadership, even the others are silent about it. I appeal to the national leadership of every party to come forward and protect the honour and dignity of our daughters," Mr Khan said while speaking to reporters here.
"I believe I have said much more (than them)," he said of the silence of the leadership in the state.
