In an unprecedented move, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan ventured into Kozhikode city and mingled with the crowd in the busy S.M. Street on December 18 (Monday), marking a novel chapter in the ongoing stand-off between him and the State Government.
Reaching S.M. Street around 12.30 p.m., the Governor mingled freely with children, raised some on his arms, kissed and blessed them like a grandfather. He talked to the local people and traders and posed for selfies. He even went into a sweetmeat store where the storekeeper fed him a piece of the famous ‘Kozhikodan halwa’. Another trader gifted him a cap.
The Governor spent around 45 minutes on the street, walking from one end to the other, waving to the crowd and stopping to talk to them occasionally.
