Union Minister of State for Minority Affairs George Kurian has bemoaned political cartoons getting extinct.
He was speaking after inaugurating the three-day Inter-Collegiate State Cartoon Conclave, ‘Doodle Days’, that got under way at Sacred Heart College, Thevara, on September 30. The conclave is being organised by the School of Communications of the college, Young Communicators, the student wing of the Public Relations Council of India, and the Kerala Cartoon Academy.
