Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said here on December 8 (Friday) that his government was not duty-bound to reply to all the petitions submitted before the Governor.
The government will respond only if “the Governor is convinced of the facts” mentioned in the petitions, he told a media conference held on the sidelines of the Navakerala Sadas public outreach programme.
The Chief Minister was responding queries about the response sought by Governor Arif Mohammed Khan to a petition submitted before him by R.S. Sasikumar, chairman of the Save University Campaign Committee, requesting him to recommend the President to declare a financial emergency in Kerala in view of the current financial crisis.
