THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Governor Arif Mohammad Khan termed Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s visit to Cuba as a political pilgrimage. The Governor blamed the chief minister and his team for their visit to Cuba and said that the trip is a waste of public money. Cuba is known for its tobacco production. He also asked what achievements Cuba has made in the field of health.

The Governor also criticized the government for trying to intimidate the media workers by filing cases against them. Fear spreads all areas. The governor also responded to the fake certificate controversy. The situation is that anything can happen in Kerala and if fraud is happening even in the post of associate professor in universities, what is this, asked the governor.

'Laws have shattered in Kerala universities. It is now in a constitutional crisis. The higher education scene in Kerala has collapsed. The government is playing with the future of students in Kerala. Students from Kerala are going abroad as they are fed up,’ he said.
