The Prime Minister should explain what the benefits of traveling abroad were. Pinarayi Vijayan is a modern Nero who goes on a merry-go-round with his family when the state is in debt of Rs.3.5 lakh.
The Prime Minister said that the government does not bear the cost of the trip. The Department of External Affairs has been informed that the government is in trouble. Now then, or on what basis do private individuals or monopolists bear this cost? Is the prime minister of the labor party to go on a pleasure trip at the expense of the working expatriates?
Pinarayi Vijayan is on a foreign tour while people are in fear. What happened was not reported to the Ministry of External Affairs. The family were not informed that they would be taken. The Prime Minister says it is an official trip. If it is an official trip, he himself should say for which things he has taken the permission of the Union Ministry of External Affairs. I will finish it. Permission was granted to go abroad. The First Minister should say what has been done according to the purpose of the trip. Nothing related to notifying the center is known to have happened there. Let the Prime Minister say what official travel means. No one can stop the family from going it alone. My question is what is the purpose of his official tour?
It was not said that a Memorandum of Understanding will be signed with foreign countries. Kerala and the UK are said to have signed a Memorandum of Understanding. According to the constitution, external affairs are under the care of the central government. He said that the state governments cannot sign any agreement without central approval.
