Ordinance removing Kerala governor as chancellor of state universities will lapse unless passed in assembly. Governor Khan himself had suggested the move to CM Vijayan in 2021.
The amended rules state that the governance system and management structure of the university will be in accordance with the decision of the state government.
Arif Mohammed Khan says he hadn't asked for finance minister to be sacked, but merely 'explained constitutional position' that minister cannot continue without governor's pleasure.
Governor Arif Mohammad Khan has pointed to UGC rules being flouted in the selection process of the V-Cs, but CM Pinarayi Vijayan has accused him of acting as ‘a tool of the RSS’.
Governor Arif Mohammed Khan signed the ordinance a day after Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan had appraised him of the circumstances that led to an ordinance to amend the Lokayukta Act.
The move, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan tells ThePrint in exclusive interview, comes after the 'suicide' of a 24-year-old medical student, allegedly because of dowry harrassment.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
