Governor stages wayside protest seeking action after SFI demonstration

High drama unfolded at Nilamel in Kollam on Saturday when Governor Arif Mohammed Khan staged an impromptu protest demanding the arrest of Students Federation of India activists who staged a black flag demonstration while he was on his way to attend a programme at Kottarakara.

Seeing the protesters holding black flags and banners, Mr. Khan got off his vehicle and rushed towards the students shouting hatt, hatt as they continued to raise ‘go back’ slogans.

Though the law enforcers shielded him and removed all protesters, a fuming Governor took a chair from a wayside shop and sat down demanding action. Despite consistent efforts from police officers to pacify him, the Governor refused to budge till he saw the FIR against the protesters.
