Kerala Congress revolt against Governor Sathasivam
Thiruvananthapuram : Congress in Kerala on Wednesday revolted against Kerala Governor P Sathasivam, finding fault with his recent decision to form a chancellors’ council, among other steps, to streamline the governance of universities in Kerala.
Taking an unusually pro-active role in the operation of universities, Sathasivam, a former chief justice of India, had convened a meeting of all vice-chancellors in the state and openly stated he would review their activities. He urged them to stick to exam time-table and install cameras in exam halls of private self-financing colleges to prevent frauds.
On Wednesday, Congress vice-president M M Hassan said the governor’s move infringed upon the power of the state government. “If things go like this, the governor would convene even the cabinet meeting. There is no legal sanctity for the chancellors council he had formed,’’ said Hassan, a confidant of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.
It may be noted that Hassan came out against the governor after Chandy refused to comment on the issue during the post-cabinet briefing.
Hassan said governor’s meddling in the day to day affairs of the universities could not be allowed. It was unusual for a governor to convene a meeting of the vice-chancellors, the education minister and senior officials of the higher education department. He has no right to do so. If that is allowed, he would interfere in other issues. Sathasivam’s decision was against the precedents, said Hassan.Earlier, Congress in Kerala had opposed the appointment of Sathasivam as governor by the BJP Government at the Centre.
