Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on December 6 (Wednesday) said that the State government should come to Raj Bhavan and give him an explanation if they wanted urgent action regarding any Bill or Ordinance.
He also asked Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to ensure that the Marxist party's members and supporters avoid calling Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as 'Azad Kashmir' and not "stoke the fires of separatism and regionalism."
Mr. Khan made these comments in response to media reports about him not signing two Ordinances sent for his approval by the Kerala Government. The Governor said that his enquiries after seeing the news reports found that the Ordinances had come two-and-a-half weeks ago.
