This time, the CPM is poised for a larger political battle, not limiting the fight to opposing just the "saffronisation of higher education."
Ciza Thomas is a retired Senior Joint Director of the Directorate of Technical Education.
He said that each time he formed such a committee, the state government challenged it in the Kerala High Court.
The CPM pointed out the Governor did not comply with the legal requirements or democratic norms that necessitate consultation with the govt for appointments in state-funded universities.
Governor Khan selected Prof Saji Gopinath from a panel of three names recommended by the government to serve as VC-in-charge of KTU, resolving a prolonged standoff between the two offices.
The CM also took a dig at Khan, who had accused him of a 27-day delay in responding to his letter, by saying that the Supreme Court has frowned upon the "habit" of sitting on bills passed by the legislature.
Khan has accused Vijayan of keeping him uninformed about "crimes against the nation" occurring in Kerala, stating he would report this to the Centre and the President.
The governor has prohibited official visits without CM's authorization but has left the door open for personal matters.
Arif Mohammed Khan said Pinarayi Vijayan prohibited the DGP and Chief Secretary from visiting him since he sought explanation into allegations made by Nilambur MLA P V Anvar.
M V Govindan said despite being on borrowed time, Governor Khan was trying to scare LDF government officials.
