On November 17, Kerala Education Minister PK Abdu Rabb stated, “As education minister I don't agree to the practice of boys and girls sitting next to each other in the classroom.” He further added that they could next to each other on chairs, but not together on benches.

Predictably, his comments have not gone down well with many people in Kerala and on social media. 

Meanwhile, there have also been protests in Kerala on the statement. On Wednesday, students from the Ernakulam Law College formed a human chain in protest against the Rabb's comments.

The New Indian Express has quoted Tito Antony, KSU Ernakulam district committee president, as saying, "These are times in which men and women scale new heights irrespective of their gender. The minister’s comment is ridiculous. I think he doesn’t know which time he is living in. We will come out strongly against such institutions which campaign to bar boys and girls from behaving normally."
