KANNUR: Excise Minister MV Govindan said there was no ambiguity or confusion in the government's liquor policy and the decision was taken with full conviction.

"Those who are sceptical about liquor policy should read the editorial of Kerala Kaumudi. Kerala Kaumudi has mentioned the liquor policy very clearly in its editorial. One will know better about it after reading the editorial," the minister said to the media in Kannur while announcing the winners of the Kudumbasree story writing competition.

"Approval to start bars and restaurants in the IT sector was given after considering the constant demand of the IT sector. Organizations of IT companies and others had written to the government demanding this. The IT sector made this demand as those working in IT companies are often unable to go out to meet this need," the minister added.
