Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan thanks Siddaramaiah and District Administration
Mangaluru: The Chief minister of Kerala state Pinarayi Vijayan thanked the chief minister of Karnataka Siddaramaiah for taking all the safety measures during his visit to the city on February 25.
In his letter dated 27 February, CM Pinarayi Vijayan writes to CM Siddaramaiah, “As you are aware, I had planned to attend a few functions in Mangaluru on February 25. However, the RSS and allied organizations kicked up a controversy over my visit by issuing a public statement that I will not be allowed to attend the public function. Such a shocking stand taken by these organizations reveal their underlining fascist tenor and is totally against the spirit of democracy which we all cherish and nurture in our country.”
“Though individually I and my political party had defied such threats and taken on such challenges head-on, the present circumstances where I am occupying a constitutionally defined office has posed some limitations in responding to this challenge in the same manner. I am happy to note that Karnataka Government under your leadership has risen to the occasion and determinedly intervened to ensure that the functions could be organized peacefully.”
“I would like to formally thank you for the stance taken by your administration in providing the necessary security and logistics support to make my visit and the public events successful and memorable.”
Yours sincerely
Pinarayi Vijayan
