Thiruvananthapuram: A resolution was unanimously adopted in Kerala Assembly on Wednesday, urging the Central government to rename the state as ‘Keralam’ in the Eighth Schedule of Indian Constitution and all official records.
After Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan moved the resolution in the Assembly, Congress-led Opposition bloc UDF did not suggest any amendment or modification to the resolution.
Vijayan said that the name of the state is ‘Keralam’ in Malayalam language.
“States were formed based on language on November 1, 1956. The need to form a united Kerala for the Malayalam-speaking communities has been strongly emerging since the time of the national freedom struggle. But the name of our state is written as Kerala in the First Schedule of the Constitution,” CM Vijayan stated.
“This Assembly unanimously requests the Union Government to take immediate steps to amend it as Keralam under Article 3 of the Constitution. This House also requests that our land be renamed as ‘Keralam’ in all languages as mentioned in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution,” the CM said.
