Kerala Assembly resolution on CAA not valid: Governor Arif Mohammad Khan

Thiruvananthapuram: Continuing with his stand against the passing of a resolution by the Kerala Assembly on the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on Thursday maintained that it has no validity.

“Citizenship Act is purely a Central subject and moreover, in Kerala, there is no issue of any illegal migrants. Hence, this resolution passed by the Assembly has no Constitutional or legal validity,” said Khan to the media here on Thursday.

Elaborating on the fiasco at the recently held Indian History Congress (IHC) at Kannur where eminent historian and Khan openly clashed, he pointed out that it has criminal content.

“In the IHC, they have advised the state government not to cooperate with the Centre on the CAA. There is a criminal content in it,” said Khan and gave a clean chit to the Kerala Police on what happened in the IHC.

“More than blaming the police, I take the blame, if anything went wrong, as it’s me as the Chancellor, to take cognizance of it,” added Khan. (IANS)
