THRISSUR: Expressing his disapproval over the reluctance of Karnataka to open its border with Kerala, Karnataka BJP spokesperson B Gopalakrishnan has said it is sheer disobedience from the part of Karnataka government despite the intervention of the Supreme Court and the Central government.

“We can understand the fear and the apprehension of Karnataka. But, it should not go back on its words after agreeing to allow entry for people who test negative for Corona virus. Not honouring the affidavit submitted in the Supreme Court is contempt of court.

The BJP in Kerala is with the government of Kerala in this difficult times. The border should be opened as soon as possible. Open the border first, any issue arising from it will be seen later. Karnataka should also not forget that patients from Karnataka are also coming to Kerala,” B Gopala Krishnan said.
