Organised intervention of labourers can lead the right way at a time when pluralism, secularism, federalism, and parliamentary democracy are being challenged, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said here on Thursday.
Inaugurating ‘Mukhamukham’, a follow-up programme to the Navakerala Sadas, he said unity among labourers was integral for the progress of the country.
“Kerala is a State where there is no lockout or layoff, providing maximum working days to labourers. Yet efforts are being made to prevent more industries from coming to Kerala through propaganda and we should resist it collectively. They are spreading fake news that Kerala is not industry-friendly and that Malayalis only work outside the country. In any case, we have been able to prove that the State is industry-friendly and create a general awareness at the national level,” he said.
