Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan termed Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan’s ‘outbursts’ against the government ‘ridiculous’ and not befitting the latter’s office.
Mr. Vijayan's strong criticism of Mr. Khan, at a press conference in the Secretariat, indicated that the government had crossed the Rubicon vis-à-vis its fraught relationship with Raj Bhavan.
“I don’t know what is happening to the Governor. Mr. Khan might have gunned for something and realised somebody had shortchanged him. The Governor was venting his frustration by airing absurd statements against the government in public. Mr. Khan should examine himself or have himself examined,” he said.
