The Chief Minister of Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan, assured that the bill includes a non-obstante clause to protect the rights of minority language speakers, particularly Kannada and Tamil communities, while mandating Malayalam as the compulsory first language in all government and aided schools up to Class 10 and promoting its dissemination throughout the state.
