Published by Parlour News

In a setback for Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan in his recurring stand-off with the CPI(M) government over matters related to universities, the Kerala High Court Tuesday quashed the four nominations he made to the senate of Kerala University last year. The CPI(M) and its student wing had said that the four students that the Governor nominated were activists of the RSS’s student wing, ABVP, and alleged that they were recommended by the Sangh Parivar.

Twelve students, including his classmates and seniors, were suspended from the university, which acted on the report of an anti-ragging cell.
