Kerala govt hopeful that Governor Arif Mohammed Khan will sign University Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2022
Kerala government has expressed confidence that Governor Arif Mohammed Khan will sign the Bill to amend the university laws over which he had earlier expressed reservation. The government is hopeful that he would sign it once the legislative procedure gets over. Amid this, congress has also hit out against the Left government over the University Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2022 and said it was an alleged move to illegally appoint the puppets of the ruling CPI(M).
State Industries Minister P Rajeev while speaking to reporters said that the Bills were being passed in the State Assembly in a democratic manner. "The Legislative Assembly passes the Bills in a democratic manner. The government passes orders and laws in the name of the Governor. The passed Bills are sent to him. It's a Constitutional post. He knows what to do," he said.
The Minister also dismissed news report that the Governor will not give the Bill his assent and said the government is hoping that he will fulfill his constitutional responsibilities.
Meanwhile.Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan said, "The University Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2022 is a move to illegally appoint the puppets of the ruling CPI(M) as teachers. This is not to curtail the powers of Governor. The government is trying to degrade the university into government departments by stripping off the self-governance authority of the varsities and destroy its quality."
The Congress alleged secret understanding between the government and the Governor.
"Even though the Governor called the Kannur Vice-Chancellor a criminal, he only gave his assent to reappoint him as the VC," Satheesan alleged.
State Higher Education Minister R Bindu on Thursday introduced the University Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2022, in the Assembly and said that "the provisions related to appointment of Vice-Chancellors (VCs) of universities in the State does not take away or dilute the powers of the Chancellor to do the same as claimed by the Congress-led UDF opposition."
