‘Governor’s tiff with govt. only tip of the iceberg’
Alleging that the University of Kerala has refused to award an honourary doctorate degree to President Ram Nath Kovind, senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has said that the Governor’s recent revelation about the conflict between himself and the State government has exposed only the tip of the iceberg.
“According to the Governor, he has revealed only very few things to the public and there are even disputes over issues affecting the dignity of the nation. Did the Governor, who is also the Chancellor, direct the Vice Chancellor of the university to take steps to award the Honorary D.Litt. to the President of India? Did the Vice Chancellor reject the proposal following government intervention?” Mr. Chennithala asked, demanding clarity in the matter.
