: The Kerala Assembly Tuesday paid rich tributes to sitting MLA, P B Abdul Razak, who passed away recently.
The homage was paid on the opening day of the 13th session of the House.
Sixty three year-old Razak, who represented Manjeshwaram constituency in the House, died of a heart attack at a private hospital in Kasaragod on October 20.
The members of the ruling CPI(M)-led LDF and opposition Congress-headed UDF paid homage to the Indian Union Muslim League legislator and recalled his contributions.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that Razak was a leader approachable to any ordinary citizen any time.
Opposition leader in the assembly Ramesh Chennithala, minister Kadakampally Surendran and MLAs O Rajagopal, Anoop Jacob, K B Ganesh Kumar and P C George were among those who shared memories of the IUML legislator.
The House was adjourned for the day after it observed silence as a mark of respect to the departed soul.
The business session, scheduled till December 13, will begin Wednesday.
