Governors also have the right to freedom of speech and expression, says Tamilisai Soundararajan

Governors also have the right to freedom of speech and expression guaranteed by the Constitution of India, and no one can stop them from expressing their views, Governor of Telangana Tamilisai Soundararajan, said in Tiruchi, on Saturday.

Ms. Soundararajan’s statement while speaking to reporters, comes in the backdrop of Governor R.N. Ravi’s recent criticism that the ‘Dravidian Model’, being projected by the present government, was a political slogan and an expired ideology that was against the idea of one India.

The position of the Governor was established under the Constitution of India, she said. “Those who demand the abolition of the post of Governor now, should have refrained from entering into the Raj Bhavan and giving petitions to the Governor when they were in the Opposition,” she said.
