UDF's "recall governor" resolution not to be taken up for

The Kerala Assembly will not discuss the notice for resolution moved by the leader of opposition Ramesh Chennithala asking the President to recall Governor Arif Mohammed Khan over his stand on the Citizenship Amendment Act, sources said.

The matter was taken up by the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) of the House on Friday and it was decided not to take up the matter for discussion.

"The opposition had asked for time to discuss the content of the resolution.

The BAC came to the conclusion that due to the short session of the assembly there was lack of time to discuss the matter," assembly sources told PTI.

Government had not agreed to the content of the debate, the sources said, adding in effect the discussion will not happen.

The resolution had sought recall of the governor for "violating all democratic principles and publicly questioning the pride of the legislature."
Asked about the decision, governor Khan said "that does not come under my jurisdiction. That comes under the Honourable speaker's jurisdiction. Ask him."
