Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan broke the conventionalities of his office on Saturday, January 27, 2024, and staged an unexpected sit-in protest on the roadside at Nilamel in Kollam district to register his ire against the police’s alleged failure to prevent a Student Federation of India (SFI) black flag demonstration at his motorcade.
The chain of events unfolded when SFI activists protesting the Chancellor’s alleged move to stack State-funded varsities with Sangh Parivar nominees flaunted black flags as Mr. Khan’s car swept past them at 11 a.m.
An incensed Mr. Khan stepped out of his vehicle and rushed towards the protestors. The police formed a human shield around him as he loudly dared the student activists.
