Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, who has been at loggerheads with the state government, said that he is ready to resign if there is even one instance of him appointing anybody belonging to organisations that are considered ‘troublesome politically” by the Kerala government.
Khan also asserted that his job is to see that the business of the government is transacted in accordance with the law.
In an interview with PTI, Khan said, “Where is the politicisation? I said that for the last three years, you have been saying that I have been implementing the RSS agenda. Give me one name, just one instance where I have appointed anybody belonging to organisations whom you find troublesome politically, RSS, BJP… give one name whom, using my authority, I have named anybody on anybody or university, I will resign.”
“It can be politicisation… if one does such things. I have not done nor is there any pressure on me to do so,” he said.
Amid the ongoing tussle between him and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan-led government, Left parties on Tuesday conducted a protest march to the Raj Bhavan in the state capital Thiruvananthapuram.
