Kerala: The CPI(M) to legally challenge governor’s decision to reappoint KUHS VC

Thiruvananthapuram: A day after governor Arif Mohammed Khan reappointed Mohanan Kunnummal as the VC of Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS), the CPI(M) and the government slammed the decision and termed it an ‘anti-democratic decision’ and stated that the party will legally take up the matter.

State health minister Veena George condemned the governor’s decision and said that the Raj Bhavan’s decision to extend the KUHS VC’s term by another 5 years without holding any discussion with the government was ‘undemocratic’ and autocratic decision.

CPM state secretary M V Govindan strongly criticised Khan, who also serves as the university’s chancellor, stating that Kunnummal’s reappointment was made without prior discussions. The actions of the Governor, in his role as Chancellor, are undemocratic and illegal, and we will initiate legal actions against these moves,” he told reporters in Chelakkara.

Govindan pointed out that the Governor did not comply with the legal requirements or democratic norms that necessitate consultation with the state government for appointments in state-funded universities.

He further alleged that the Governor is trying to impose ‘saffronization’ on the education sector, claiming that individuals associated with the RSS and BJP have been appointed to the university senate.

The actions of the Governor, in his role as Chancellor, are undemocratic and illegal, and we will initiate legal actions against these moves,” said MV Govindan Master to reporters in Chelakkara.

Kunnummal, whose term as VC was scheduled to end on October 25, was reappointed on Thursday for five years or until he turns 70, whichever comes first.

Additionally, Khan appointed Kunnummal as the interim VC of the University of Kerala until a permanent VC was appointed. Both appointments will take effect on October 26
