Kerala Varsities Chancellor Controversy: Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan has questioned the legal validity of the provisions of the bill being brought by the Left government to curtail the Governor's powers as Chancellor of universities in the state and to take away the post of Chancellor from the Governor. Is raised. The Governor said that the Supreme Court has laid down that if the state law is contrary to the UGC rules, then the UGC rules will prevail. Laws cannot be made in the state against the rules of UGC.
Khan told reporters that the UGC rules have been made keeping in mind the fact that governors are ex-officio chancellors of universities.
