‘Are You Ashamed Of PM?’: Kerala HC Asks Petitioner

Dec 14, 2021 | Pratirodh Bureau

Examining the maintainability of a plea seeking removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s photograph from the COVID-19 vaccination certificate, the Kerala High Court on Monday asked the petitioner whether he was ashamed of the PM.

Justice P.V. Kunhikrishnan said the Prime Minister was elected to power by the people of the country and therefore, there was nothing wrong with having his photograph on the vaccination certificate.

When the petitioner’s counsel told the court that in other countries there was no such practice, the judge remarked, “They may not be proud of their PMs, we are proud of our PM.”

“Why are you (petitioner) ashamed of the prime minister? He came to power through the mandate of the people…. We may have different political views, but he is still our PM,” the court further said.

The counsel for the petitioner, Peter Myaliparampil, said the certificate was a “private space” with personal details on record and therefore, it was inappropriate to intrude into the privacy of an individual.

He contended that adding the PM’s photo to the certificate was an intrusion into an individual’s private space.

To this, the court said more than 100 crore people of the country do not appear to have a problem with having the PM’s photo on the vaccine certificate, “why do you?”

The court said it will examine whether the plea has any merits and if not, it will dispose of the matter.

During the more than an hour long hearing, advocate Ajit Joy, appearing for the petitioner, said whether to be proud of one’s PM was a personal choice.

Joy also told the court that it was not a matter of political differences, as the Supreme Court has laid down guidelines for advertisements and campaigns using public money.

He said having the photo on the certificates would also influence the minds of voters and this issue was raised during the recent state assembly elections.

The central government opposed the plea saying it was a ‘publicity interest litigation’.

The petitioner, a senior citizen, has contended in his plea that the PM’s photo on his vaccination certificate was a violation of fundamental rights.
