Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI (M)] State secretary M.V. Govindan has accused Governor Arif Mohammed Khan of abandoning his constitutional duties to do the bidding of the Sangh Parivar.
He was speaking while inaugurating a colloquium on higher education at the Karyavattom campus of Kerala University on Thursday.
Mr. Govindan demanded Mr. Khan’s resignation in the wake of the Supreme Court’s adverse remarks regarding his actions in connection with his purported refusal to sign Bills that have been passed by the legislature. “With the Governor turning himself into a laughing stock through his anti-democratic stance, he must step down from the position without further delay,” he said.
