What Governor of Kerala Arif Mohammed Khan was saying all these months regarding the Pinarayi Vijayan Government and its misadventure in using the university campuses as the breeding ground for Marxist ideology through pliable, politically appointed Vice-Chancellors is now confirmed by the Supreme Court through its recent judgement. While squashing the appointment of ViceChancellor of Thiruvananthapuram-based Kalam Technological University (KTM), the Supreme Court not only exposed the procedural lapses in the appointment of VCs but reminded the LDF Government the need to appoint apolitical person with high academic credentials to the post of Vice-Chancellor.
TARGETING GOVERNOR TO SHIELD THEIR MISRULE
This is not the first time that the CPI(M)-led Left Front Government bypassed the rules and guidelines of University Grants Commission in appointing the VCs in Kerala. Governor Arif Mohammed Khan in his capacity as Chancellor of all the State universities was objecting and protesting on the way persons of lower stature were being placed at a highly crucial university chair of Vice-Chancellor thus intentionally downgrading the stature of the VC. Despite Governor Arif Mohammed Khan’s objections to the way files are forwarded to him, the Pinarayi Vijayan Government insisted on its right to appoint VCs to the State universities but resorted to counter attack the Governor by labelling him as the agent of Bharatiya Janata Party and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The LDF Government used the ever obliging Left liberals, academicians and friends in the media with Communist ideology to spread a huge noise terming the well-intended and meaningful suggestions from the office of the Governor as the unwarranted interference into the democratically elected Government of Kerala.
