Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on Sunday hinted that the Raj Bhavan would strongly rebut the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government’s accusation that he had failed to exercise his constitutional powers and duties by withholding gubernatorial assent to Bills passed by the Legislative Assembly.
When pointed out by reporters that the government had approached the Supreme Court seeking a favourable declaration against the Raj Bhavan in the politically contentious matter, Mr. Khan said the court plea would accord him a legal opportunity to bring in more clarity to the dispute.
