Kerala government to remove the Governor?...
In kerala, the state government has removed governor Arif Mohammed Khan from the post of Chancellor of a deemed university. On Wednesday, the state cabinet led by chief minister P. Vijayan had decided to bring an ordinance to remove him from the post of chancellor of all state universities, due to which the round of objections and controversies had started. This was also feared to create a constitutional crisis. Despite this, the state government on thursday evening removed him from the post of Chancellor of kerala Kalamandalam Deemed university, Thrissur.
The government had changed the rules of the university
The government said that it has changed the rules of the university to replace Khan with an eminent person from the field of arts and culture. After the changed rules, now the governance system and management of kerala Kalamandalam university has been made under the state government instead of the governor. With this step, the state government has also made it clear that it is no longer ready to see the governor as the Excellency of the state universities.
In kerala, there has been a dispute between the state government of the CPIM-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) and governor Khan on many issues. The state government is telling him the pawn of the bjp government at the center. Recently, the governor had ordered the resignation of the Vice Chancellors of 9 state universities, calling them ineligible. After this the confrontation between the government and them reached its peak. For this reason, on Wednesday, it was decided to bring an ordinance to remove him from the post of university chancellor.
On getting information about the decision to bring an ordinance against him, governor Khan attacked the state government. He had described the vice-chancellors of universities as workers of the ruling LDF, who were appointed by recommendation rather than by merit.
