Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, who also serves as the chancellor of universities in the state, took an unusual step on Sunday by seeking the resignation of vice-chancellors of nine universities. However, Kannur University Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Gopinath Ravindran, has refused to comply with the directive, claiming he has done nothing wrong to step down. Meanwhile, several political parties accused the governor of overstepping his constitutional limits.
