Any attempt to push women to secondary roles will miserably fail: Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan

“Women have a strong desire to learn and contribute towards development of the society and the country and any attempt by unseen forces to push them into secondary role will miserably fail,” said Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan in Mangaluru on Friday.

Speaking at an international physiotherapy conference “Mangalore Physiocon 2022”, Mr. Khan said women now are providing leadership role in the knowledge society. Gone are those days when women barely moved out without there being a male member of the family moving ahead.

“Unseen hands are at work to push these girls back and create disturbance. It’s unfortunate,” he said and added that the unseen hands will not succeed in their objective. “I am convinced that any attempt to push women into secondary role will miserably fail,” he said and added “Woman’s desire to learn and go ahead and contribute to the society and the country is very strong.”
