Last month, Pinarayi Vijayan also stressed on protecting the pluralism of the country. He said, "India is known for its pluralism and we need to protect it. However, imposing a language or a religion is against pluralism. If only one language is promoted then how can our Malayalam language stay alive? If Malayalam is not there then the Malayalam media will not have any relevance. Hence, the media should protect pluralism for their own survivability."

Earlier, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan said that secularism has always been a part of the Indian way of life. Arif Khan said that the concept of secularism was widely accepted as it was in consonance with the ancient way of life in India. He said, the concept of democracy became popular outside western hemisphere since we had a concept of spiritual democracy.
The Governor made the comment during a lecture on 'Life and legacy of Jawaharlal Nehru' in April. Arif Khan said, Nehru took pride in ancient heritage of India and he considered Vedas and Upanishads as storehouses of wisdom.
