THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The chief minister and finance minister now say that they will not use government fund for Women’s wall after deciding earlier to use Rs 50 crore from the government exchequer. This change of stand is out of fear for people’s uprising against the government, according KPCC president Mullapally Ramachandran.

“Those who said in the Assembly that the Women’s wall is not a government programme and not even single government paisa will be used for it themselves later filed an affidavit in the high court that Rs 50 crore set apart for women’s protection will be used for the purpose,” he said.
