"k-k-shailaja"

Kerala BJP chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar opposed a directive by a prominent Sunni scholars’ body urging restrictions on women’s participation in public religious events. CPI(M) leaders criticised the directive as anti-women, while some Islamic scholars defended it. IUML said it would not intervene

President and Rector of CEU, Michael Ignatieff and said the prize is awarded this year to an "extraordinary public servant" from the developing world.

It has come as a shock to many in the party and outside and all what Shailaja said was, she is a disciplined party worker and will abide by the party's decision.

Urging everyone to take part in the vaccination drive, 64-year-old Shailaja later said the initiative was going on smoothly in the state.
