THIRUVANANTHAPURAM/NEW DELHI: The Governor will submit a report to the Central Government and the President that the attempt to attack him who is the constitutional head of the State of Kerala on the road is a serious breakdown of law and order. The security of the Central Army will also be demanded.

Once the report is received, the Union Home Ministry will seek a report from the Chief of Police regarding the security breach. He may even be summoned. A report can also be sought from the Chief Secretary. Raj Bhavan has sought an explanation from the Chief Secretary and DGP. The report will be sent to the Centre once this is received. The Governor sends a monthly report to the Centre detailing the situation in the state. The protests on roads will be reported separately.

IB has reported that the governor who has Z-plus security, was not provided with it. Meanwhile, the Security Review Committee will convene an emergency meeting to assess the security of the governor. The committee consists of the Home Secretary, Police Chief, Intelligence Chief, Security IG and IB Deputy Director. If there is a lapse in providing security, it will be remedied.

Will meet Amit Shah

The Governor who is using the car stopping incident as a weapon to attack the Chief Minister, may meet Home Minister Amit Shah. Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan met the Governor yesterday. The centre is taking the leak of the governor's route map seriously. SFI workers being able to come near the car is also a huge security breach.

There are also plans to introduce CRPF security. Governor CV Ananda Bose, who is at loggerheads with the West Bengal government, has security that includes central forces.

The governor, who remains in Delhi, is in a move to secure support against the state. It is learned that these matters were discussed in the meeting with V Muraleedharan at Kerala House yesterday morning.

President's rule will not be recommended

• Although the governor may recommend that the law and order situation has broken down and the President's rule should be implemented, such a move is unlikely to happen.
• President's rule should be imposed only when the government fails to perform its constitutional duties and becomes unsustainable.
• There is no such situation in Kerala at present. There is a Supreme Court order that the President's rule should be implemented only as a last resort.
• Cancelling the President's rule, the High Court had ruled in Uttarakhand that the Governor is not an agent of the Centre and should exercise discretionary power only in important matters.
• President's rule is imposed under Article 356. It can be continued up to a maximum of three years. There should be approval of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for this.
