THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Governor Arif Mohammad Khan said that he will not sign ordinances blindly. He also said that the state government is bringing an ordinance to remove him from the post of chancellor for the sake of media attention.

"I will not support violating the law. Not everything the government wants becomes law. I will not sign the bills without getting my doubts cleared. The Chief Minister should come in person and give an explanation regarding the doubts. But he will not come. The government should not think that I can be set aside for opposing the Chief Minister. It was the government that started the problems again. The problems will come to an end if the government do not interfere in the university administration. The Supreme Court has ordered that the government has no authority to interfere in the appointment of VC. UGC norms are above the state law. The chief minister is threatening me. I will not give in to threats. . I will reply to the challengers in a language they can understand. The chief minister says that I will have to face serious consequences. I will not back down even if the consequences are severe. The government uses the language of the mafia. I am fighting the mafia," the Governor said.

"The truth regarding the revelation that Pinarayi was previously threatened by a young IPS officer with a gun can be known by examining the general diary of the police station. How can a chief minister rule a state when he cannot even look after his own office? Cadre governance is going on in Kerala. Government of the cadre, by the cadre, for the cadre- this is the situation here. Only party supporters and cadres benefit from the government's work," he added.
