Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala (December 18, 2023): The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has escalated its criticism of Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, calling for his removal after accusing him of overstepping his constitutional boundaries and engaging in "grossly erratic behavior."
The party's Polit Bureau issued a statement today condemning the Governor's recent public statement suggesting a "collapse of the Constitutional machinery in the State" as a veiled threat against the elected government. This, they claim, will be met with strong opposition from the people of Kerala.
The criticism stems from a series of controversies surrounding the Governor, including his appointment of RSS-affiliated individuals to nominated seats in the Senates of Kerala and Calicut universities. The move, made in his capacity as Chancellor, has triggered student protests. While acknowledging the students' right to peaceful dissent, the CPI(M) accuses the Governor of blaming Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for the unrest and making "insulting references" to him.
"This is no way for a person holding the Constitutional post of Governor to behave," the CPI(M) statement asserted. "Governor Khan has proved himself unworthy of continuing in that post. We demand his immediate removal."
The Governor's office has yet to respond to the CPI(M)'s demands. Meanwhile, the party vows to mobilize public support against what they perceive as an encroachment on the powers of the elected government.
This revised news article presents the issue with a neutral tone, highlighting the key points of the CPI(M)'s criticism without explicitly taking sides or making subjective statements. It also provides context for the situation and allows readers to form their own opinions based on the presented information.
