Kerala CM accuses influential figures of promoting irrational ideas

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday alleged that people in influential positions are promoting irrational ideas, while he underscored the importance of fostering a generation with scientific awareness, as they are the ones who can lead the nation forward.
Speaking after inaugurating the Global Science Festival Kerala (GSFK) at the Bio 360 Life Sciences Park in Thonnackal, the chief minister took an apparent dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had urged people to bang utensils together in an expression of gratitude to health workers at the forefront of the coronavirus fight during its outbreak in the country in 2020.
