Kerala Governor wraps up policy address in Assembly in under 2 mins
cancel

Thiruvananthapuram: Amid the continuous tensions between the state's ruling Left Front and Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, he quickly ended the government's policy address before the Assembly on Thursday, simply reading out the last paragraph.

Khan arrived in the Assembly at 9 a.m., delivered his policy address before 9.02 a.m., and left by 9.04.

He began the address by greeting everyone in the House and then said, “I will now read the last para.” Khan and the Left government have been at loggerheads over several issues, primarily about the functioning of universities in the state and his non-signing of certain bills passed by the Assembly.

Reading out the last of the 136 paragraphs of the 62-page policy address, the Governor said, "Let us remember that our greatest legacy lies not in buildings or monuments, but in the respect and regard we show to the priceless legacy of the Constitution of India and the timeless values of democracy, secularism, federalism and social justice."

He further said that the essence of cooperative federalism is what has kept India united and strong all these years and it was everyone's bounden duty to ensure that this essence is not diluted.

"The essence of cooperative federalism is what has kept our country united and strong all these years. It is our bounden duty to ensure that this essence is not diluted.

"Together as part of this varied and beautiful nation we will weave the tapestry of inclusive growth and responsible resilience, overcoming all the challenges that are thrown our way," he said, concluding his address, and sat down in the seat marked for him on the dais.

Thereafter, the national anthem was played and after it ended, Khan walked out of the Assembly, the entire exercise taking just under 5 minutes.

Khan and the Left government have been at loggerheads over several issues, primarily about the functioning of universities in the state and his non-signing of certain bills passed by the Assembly.

It also resulted in his facing widespread protests across the state from the CPI(M), its youth wing -- Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) -- and its student outfit -- Students Federation of India (SFI).
