The Left Democratic Front (LDF) has closed ranks in the wake of the "political and legal crisis" caused by Governor Arif Mohammed Khan's "strident public pronouncements" against the Pinarayi Vijayan government.
In Thiruvananthapuram, CPI(M) State secretary M.V. Govindan addressed a public meeting to explain the party’s political position vis-à-vis the Governor’s “trespasses on the Assembly’s legislative power and attack against the government.”
Mr. Khan had provoked the LDF's ire by implying at an uncustomary press conference recently that he would not sign into law the University Laws (Amendment) Act, 2022 and the Kerala Lok Ayukta (Amendment) Act, 2022 recently legislated by the Assembly.
