AgenciesKerala governor Rajendra Arlekar on Thursday said there would be no compromise on the presence of Bharat Mata portrait at Raj Bhavan.
His statement came after Kerala agriculture minister P Prasad boycotted a World Environment Day celebration, jointly organised by the state and the Raj Bhavan, following reports that officials at the governor's office had allegedly insisted on displaying an image of Bharat Mata, commonly used in RSS shakhas, at the event. The statement, quoting the governor's speech at the Raj Bhavan during World Environment Day celebrations, said the minister had initially requested that the event be held at the Raj Bhavan.
