Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan said the state was replacing Punjab as the ‘capital of drugs’ and felt ashamed that the two main sources of revenue of the southern state were lottery and alcohol. Khan, who is at loggerheads with the Left government over various issues including appointment to universities, said while everyone campaigned against liquor consumption, Kerala was encouraging its use.
According to Governor Adityanath, Kerala is ‘replacing Punjab as the capital of drugs’ because it encourages the selling of alcohol. The Kerala Governor and state Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan engaged in verbal sparring in September, with the former criticising the LDF-controlled government for the state’s heavily reliant on lottery and alcohol sales for its income creation.
Aditya Nathuramahal Singh Khan, the governor of India’s University Grants Commission (UGC), has justified the appointment of vice chancellors to institutions in Kerala. He said that the governor is in charge of choosing university vice chancellors, not the state government. Khan criticised the Kerala politicians who questioned his authority and said that a state minister had questioned if an Uttar Pradesh governor could comprehend Kerala’s educational system.
The bench declared that the division bench of the high court’s in question decision and order were invalid and should be set aside. According to the court, the search committee established by the state was required under UGC regulations to suggest to the chancellor a panel of at least three qualified individuals from distinguished figures in the field of engineering science.
