Ordinance seeking removal of Governor as Chancellor now infructuous: Kerala Governor Khan

“If extra guests come to Raj Bhavan, extra vehicles would be sought from the government. What is special about it? If the guests of the Governor come, should I ask them to walk on foot?” Khan told reporters in New Delhi in reply to a question.

“Once the House has been summoned, any ordinance, which was sent to Raj Bhavan earlier, becomes infructuous… so, there is no such ordinance now,” he said.

‘Violation of the law is normal in the state’

When asked whether he got any reply from the Pinarayi Vijayan government regarding the government employees allegedly taking part in the recent protests in front of Raj Bhavan, Khan said he did not seek any reply and it appears as if the violation of the law is becoming normal in the state.

“One after the other, the court is giving judgements in the last six months, in the case of just one university. Three or four judgements were ordered by the high court. So, it appears as if the violation of the law is becoming normal,” he said.

The Governor said he would give enough space to rectify and correct the situation. But if the law is not respected, then ultimately at some stage the Governor is under obligation to act, he added.

Khan is at loggerheads with the Left Democratic Front-led government in the state over various issues, including the appointment of Vice Chancellors at various universities.
