Taking a dim view of the developments that unfolded at the senate meeting at Kerala University a day ago, Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on Saturday declared the outcome as “illegal, and null and void”.
He also slammed Higher Education Minister R. Bindu for chairing the meeting “illegally” without his authorisation. The Left Democratic Front (LDF)-dominated senate had on Friday decided against nominating a representative to the Vice-Chancellor search-cum-selection committee, despite Congress members and the Governor’s nominees proposing names for consideration.
The meeting also witnessed the unusual participation of Dr. Bindu, who chaired the meeting much to the consternation of Vice-Chancellor in-charge Mohanan Kunnummal.
