Balagopal is concerned. He expects constitutionally appropriate action by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. In other words, Mr. Khan wants Mr. Balagopal dismissed for remarks that he sees as <strong>seditious (Arousing to action or rebellion)<\/strong>, undermining national unity and <strong>stoking (Stir up or tend) <\/strong>regionalism. However, Mr. Vijayan has rejected the demand. It is difficult to agree with the Governor\u2019s assessment that an observation that those who had seen only universities in Uttar Pradesh would not understand universities in Kerala is seditious or goes against national unity. In normal circumstances, when the Governor conveys his displeasure with a Minister\u2019s conduct, it will have considerable <strong>persuasive (Intended or having the power to induce action or belief) <\/strong>value. However, in the backdrop of the <strong>unrelenting (Not to be placated, appeased or moved by entreaty) acrimony (A rough and bitter manner) <\/strong>between Raj Bhavan and the Cabinet, it may have not <strong>evoked (Call forth (emotions, feelings, and responses)) <\/strong>any serious response. Needless to say, the polite phrase in the Constitution that applies the doctrine of pleasure to a Minister\u2019s <strong>tenure (The term during which some position is held) <\/strong>is nothing more than a reference to the will of the Chief Minister on the continuance or dismissal of a member of his ministerial Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This constitutional position, however, does not mean that the underlying controversy over the appointment of Vice-Chancellors to universities in Kerala can be <strong>brushed aside (Bar from attention or consideration)<\/strong>. After the Supreme Court set aside the appointment made in the A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technological University, Thiruvananthapuram, Mr. Khan directed nine other V-Cs to resign, <strong>flagging (to draw attention to (something)) <\/strong>what he felt were similar legal <strong>infirmities (The state of being weak in health or body (especially from old age)) <\/strong>in their appointment. His point was that just as it was in the case before the apex court, these V-Cs too were either appointed by the submission of a single name by Search Committees (instead of a panel of three to five names, as required under University Grants Commission regulations), or were chosen by committees that included the State\u2019s Chief Secretary. The Governor\/Chancellor was obviously wrong in fixing a short deadline for their resignation, and he subsequently converted the communication into show-cause notices to them, asking them to explain why their appointments should not be <strong>deemed (Keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view) <\/strong>illegal. It is a separate legal question whether the judgment in the case of one V-C is automatically applicable to all others. However, given its potential for litigation, the sooner the university statutes in Kerala are brought <strong>in line with (in alignment or accordance with)<\/strong> the UGC regulations, the better. However, there is no doubt that Governor-Chancellors should not conflate their statutory powers to handle university matters with their constitutional role in Raj Bhavan. The <strong>tussle (Disorderly fighting) <\/strong>makes a good case for why Governors, whose overtly political functioning is an uneasy fact of political life, should not be tasked with being Chancellors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update your vocabulary with the help of this analysis of The Hindu Editorial.
