Notwithstanding the protests and the hartal called by the Left Democratic Front (LDF), Governor Arif Mohammed Khan inaugurated the Karunya Family Welfare Scheme of the Kerala Vyapari Vayasai Ekopana Samiti (KVVES) at Thodupuzha on Tuesday.
Inaugurating the scheme, Mr. Khan said he felt no threats from anywhere. “On many occasions, I have said I am not a rubber stamp. There will be no compromise in following the law and rules in the State,” he said.
“There is no threat to me. I resigned from the Union Cabinet when I was 35 years old. I overcame such threats in 1985, 86, and 87. Now they are asking, are you afraid? Now, at the age of 72 years, I am living on extra time, and there is no question of me feeling threatened by these protests and blockades,” said Mr. Khan.
