Kerala Mohammed-Khan
Governor Arif Mohammed Khan CM of Kerala on Thursday said that the Chief Minister’s Office “patronising smuggling operations”. This gave him cause to intervene in the ongoing dispute between the Raj Bhavan and the state administration in Kerala.
The Governor addressing the Chief Minister’s charge that he attempting to turn state universities. Into “centres of RSS and Sangh Parivar.” Khan’s words frequently stand out and elicit accusations of overreach even though recent. Conflicts between governors and governments have observed in other states. He has previously stated that state ministers might be fired for saying anything to “degrade the dignity of the office of the Governor.”
But now I see that the Chief Minister’s office supports all forms of smuggling (CMO). There would certainly be cause for me to intervene if the state government. The CMO, or anyone associated with the chief minister were engaged in smuggling, Khan told reporters.
