Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan had “overstepped” all boundaries with his constant political attacks on the elected State government and his “grossly erratic behaviour”, the CPI(M) Polit Bureau said in a statement here, calling him “unworthy of continuing in the post.”
The statement, is a direct response to Mr. Khan’s allegation that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan gave orders to put up black banners against him inside the campus of the Calicut University. The Governor was in Kozhikode on Sunday to attend a wedding when the members of Students’ Federation of India (SFI), a student wing of CPI(M), allegedly put up banners that read “Sanghi Chancellor, go back”, outside the university guest house where he was staying.
The Raj Bhavan put out a statement, saying that the Governor felt that the black banners could not have come up without the “direction of the Chief Minister” and that “this clearly is the beginning of the collapse of the constitutional machinery in the State.”
