KANNUR: CPM Kannur district secretary MV Jayarajan on Friday said that it is time to remove Arif Mohammad Khan from the post of University Chancellor in the state. Jayarajan, who pointed out that the governor has not been given the title of Chancellor in many states, also alleged that Arif Mohammad Khan is not fit to hold the position of Chancellor.

"It is time to start the discussions to remove Arif Mohammad Khan from the post of Chancellor. Many people have already said this. The governor does not want the good of the state but the destruction of the state. The governor has a destructive mind. He is exercising powers that he does not have," Jayarajan said.

Meanwhile, Kannur University has passed a resolution against the Governor. The university syndicate passed the resolution as the Governor demanded the resignation of the vice-chancellors of state universities, including Kannur university. In the resolution, the syndicate pointed out that the Governor's request for the resignation of the VCs was part of a move to curb the growth of the universities. The syndicate also assessed that the policies of the Governor are against the university rules.
