Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has lashed out at Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, who is also the Chancellor of Kannur University, for the setback to the reappointment of Gopinath Ravindran as Vice Chancellor of Kannur University in November 2021.
The Supreme Court on November 30 rescinded the reappointment, saying that the Chancellor’s decision had been influenced by extraneous considerations.
Addressing the media during the ongoing Navakerala Sadas at Kulappully, near Shoranur, Palakkad district, on December 1 (Friday), the Chief Minister accused Mr. Khan of “dancing to the tune of some external forces.”
