Handloom goodwill ambassador

Dr Sukumar Azhikode is likely to give up his habit of wearing khadi clothes seeing that all his effort against actor Mohanlal to become handloom ambassador has gone futile. Industries Minister Elamaram Kareem has made Padmasri Mohanlal the goodwill ambassador of the handloom industry of the State.

Mohanlal said he would do everything he could to promote the use of handloom and asserted that he would also try to promote handloom among the film fraternity. Does he mean that item dancers of little cloth in his films hereinafter appear in handloom clothes? One thing is sure. Ministers like Kareem, C Divakaran, and Principal Secretary T Balakrishnan are not in the way that Mr Azhikode says aloud. Azhikode can continue fouling his nest.
