KOCHI: CPM state secretariat member M Swaraj on Wednesday mocked that Governor Arif Mohammad Khan is playing the role of a sepoy who is a slave of RSS. Swaraj also criticized that Arif Mohammad Khan has tarnished the honour and dignity of the Governor post. He also demanded that the Governor, who has lost the favour of the Malayalis, should resign.

"The Governor should act on the advice of the government. However, Arif Mohammad Khan is now working as a slave of the RSS office," Swaraj said.

Swaraj also alleged that the Governor was a corrupt man. "KN Balagopal became a minister because he was elected by the people and not because of the favor of Arif Mohammad Khan. As long as the Left Front has a majority, it is up to the Front and the Chief Minister to decide who should be the minister," he added.
