The Governor said, "Have they given any evidence that I have created a crisis? Merely making a statement does not mean that. Crisis means when you go beyond the powers or authority which is given to you by the Constitution. Give me one single example of where I have gone beyond that."
"Show me one instance where I have crossed the line. And how many times my own government has crossed the line, there is a long list. So who is creating the crisis?" Khan said, as per PTI.
Last week, Kerala government moved a writ petition in the Supreme Court against Governor Arif Mohammed Khan for inaction on his part regarding eight Bills passed by the state legislature.
The writ petition was filed by advocate C.K. Sasi stating that three Bills were pending before the Governor for more than 2 years.
