Actress Parvathy Thiruvothu has criticized the decision to allow 500 people for the swearing-in ceremony of the second LDF government even during the Covid surge in the state.
The actress added that there is no doubt that the state government has done incredible work and continues to do so to aid the frontline workers and help battle this pandemic in a very responsible way.
However, Parvathy expressed disagreement with the decision of having a crowd for the swearing-in. She pointed out in a tweet that the chief minister's statement that a crowd of 500 is deemed 'not that much' for the swearing in ceremony on May 20 is unacceptable.
"Given that the cases are still on the rise and we are nowhere near a finish line, it is an extremely wrong move especially when there is an opportunity to set an example by holding a virtual ceremony instead," she stated in the tweet.
Parvathy tagged the office of the chief minister in her tweet and also requested to cancel the public gathering and hold a virtual event instead of it.
