Politics took a back seat when politicians met their contemporaries to make way for a delightful event, the 'Peythozhiyunna Ormakal' programme in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday. Over 146 ex-MLAs participated in the event that honoured them, along with other MLAs who completed 25 years in the assembly, former assembly secretaries, senior journalists and retired employees of the assembly.

Inaugurating the function, Shamseer said that the ceremony is similar to alumni meetings held on campuses, drawing parallels between the legislative assembly and a university.
