Attempts are being made in some centres to blame certain religious sects and make them responsible for all the problems. The allegation made by some that the drug lobbies belong to the religion of Islam is not true. This is a state that has conveyed to the world the great message that 'one caste, one religion and one God for all the people of the world,'" the minister said.

V Balagopal, President of the Association, presided over the function. Distinguished guest Kadakampally Surendran MLA said that what sets Kerala Kaumudi apart from other newspapers was its honesty in news coverage and stance and that Kerala Kaumudi was the lifeblood of the common man in the capital city.
