Minister has no authority to make such a recommendation, says Kanam
The State Council of the Communist Party of India (CPI) has reportedly frowned upon Higher Education Minister R. Bindu’s contentious letter to Governor Arif Mohammed Khan seeking service extension for Kannur University Vice Chancellor Gopinath Raveendran beyond the retirement age. Ms. Bindu had also demanded the Chancellor disband the search committee for a new Vice Chancellor.
When pressed whether the Minister had overstepped her Constitutional bounds by allegedly bringing executive pressure to bear on Mr. Khan, CPI State secretary Kanam Rajendran said: “I do not think the Minister has the authority to make such a recommendation. Maybe, its my ignorance. But everything is in the answer.”
Mr. Rajendran said the High Court had upheld the VC’s extension. The judiciary had extinguished any scope for further debate on the issue.
