The language of the VC’s letter is shameful, shocking: Governor | Arif Mohammad Khan
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Thiruvananthapuram: Governor Arif Mohammad Khan has said that he was shocked by the language of the letter given to him by the Vice Chancellor of the University of Kerala. It was shocking that the person in the VC position might not write even two lines without making mistakes. It took 10 minutes to recover from the shock. The Governor said that all of us outside Kerala were ridiculed for the VC’s letter.
The Governor was responding to the controversy over the unwillingness of the University of Kerala to confer the D.Litt degree on the President. The governor also slammed the VC’s handwritten letter saying he might not provide de lit. He also confirmed that he had instructed the VC to give de lit to the President.
The governor said it was a situation where he might not look others in the face when the VC’s letter came out.
The governor said it should be remembered that such language is used by the vice chancellor of the oldest university in the country. The VC was summoned to the Raj Bhavan and informed that students were complaining that there was no communication with eminent persons in the universities. Kovidan suggested that people might be controlled but the event should be held. A few days later, the VC handed over the list of those planning to attend the event to the Raj Bhavan. He asked the Vice-Chancellor to call on the President to replace him as it was the oldest university in the country.
He also suggested that the de lit be given to the president if the law and authorities of the university allow it. He said he might go directly to the Rashtrapati Bhavan and request that D-Lit be purchased as a special case.
Five days later, on December 5, the VC arrived at the palace and informed the syndicate members of their disagreement. He asked me to write it down. The governor accused the VC of not only knowing how to write but also how to say things. When he saw the VC’s letter, he was shocked. How can a VC write such sentences? I might not believe it.
He then contacted the CM’s office. When the chancellor did not call the syndicate meeting despite what the chancellor said, it seemed that someone from outside had intervened. The governor said he then wrote a letter asking for a chancellor to replace the chancellor instead of going to war with the government.
