[Marxistindia] Kerala Governor's Anti-Constitutional Remarks

[news from the cpi(m)]

Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Kerala Governor's Anti-Constitutional Remarks

 

The Governor of Kerala, Shri Arif Mohammad Khan, has been acting in a manner
which does not behove the Constitutional post that he holds. 

 

The latest is a tweet from the official handle of the Kerala Governor
wherein the Public Relations Officer of the Kerala Raj Bhavan has quoted the
Governor as saying that if statements of individual ministers lower the
dignity of the office of the Governor, then it can invite action including
"withdrawal of pleasure".

 

This amounts to saying that the Governor can dismiss a minister by
withdrawing his pleasure.  Such dictatorial powers are not vested with the
Governor by the Constitution. By making such a statement, Shri Khan has only
exposed his political bias and hostility to the LDF government. 

 

The President of India should intervene to prevent the Kerala Governor from
making such anti-Constitutional and anti-democratic statements.
