Kerala CM demands Union Govt to examine the propriety of Governor Khan’s actions

The Hindu  

Accusing Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan of attempts to create maximum provocation in every issue, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that the Union Government should examine the propriety of the Governor’s repeated breaches of protocol. The Governor often forgets the position that he occupies now, and makes comments unbecoming of that position,” said Mr. Vijayan. Though the panel provided by the University had people with all the necessary qualifications, the only criteria followed in the Governor’s nominations were that they belong to the RSS. Referring to former Supreme Court Judge Justice Rohinton Nariman’s comments on Mr. Khan two days back, Mr. Vijayan said that the whole country is now paying attention to the Governor’s acts.
