THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Uncertainty continues over Saji Cherian’s entry in cabinet. Governor Arif Mohammad Khan said that a detailed examination will be conducted regarding Saji Cherian's return to the cabinet. “The case was filed against Saji Cherian for insulting the dignity of constitution.”, he said. He also clarified that he will look into the progress of the case.

“I have received the Chief Minister's notification regarding this. Seeking legal advice on the matter is a natural action. Saji Cherian had to resign because even the Chief Minister could not accept it. The Chief Minister demanded his resignation because he felt that the issue was valid. Will check if this situation has changed.”, the governor said. He also said that the legal counsel's opinion will be considered.

Raj Bhavan's Standing Consul had given legal advice on the matter last day. As per the legal advice, the swearing-in of Saji Cherian as a minister cannot be prevented.
