The Chief Minister alleged that the Governor's move was an encroachment on the powers of a democratically elected government.
The Kerala High Court will this evening hold a special sitting to consider petitions challenging Governor Arif Muhammed Khan's controversial direction to Vice Chancellors of nine universities to quit by 11:30 am on Monday.
Governor Khan, citing a previous Supreme Court order, says the state government has no authority to appoint Vice Chancellors of universities. However, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has shot back with strong words, accusing him of "waging war" with an intention to "destroy" the universities in the state. He also said the Governor is acting as the spearhead of the Sangh Parivar.
The Chief Minister alleged that the Governor's move was an encroachment on the powers of a democratically elected government, and the universities that are supposed to be academically independent.
This comes in the backdrop of the Kerala government appointing VCs to various universities on their own, while the Governor raked up the issue, saying those appointments are his responsibility.
