Kerala: Governor's resignation order to vice-chancellors faces opposition, triggers battle

Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, who also serves as the chancellor of universities in the state, took an unusual step on Sunday by seeking the resignation of vice-chancellors of nine universities. However, Kannur University Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Gopinath Ravindran, has refused to comply with the directive, claiming he has done nothing wrong to step down. Meanwhile, several political parties accused the governor of overstepping his constitutional limits.
