THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Congress MLA V T Balram has come out against government declaring holiday for schools and government offices following the demise of Uthradom Thirunal Marthanda Varma.
Balram’s comment first appeared on social networking site Facebook. It reads like this: “I express my condolence on the occasion of Sree Marthanda Varma’s demise. But, he was just a member of erstwhile royal family and not even once the ruler of Travancore. As that is the case, I don’t understand why the government declared a public holiday… It is not right for the administrators to forget that the feudalism has ended and democracy rules...”
