Thiruvananthapuram: Former Keralam CM and LoP Pinarayi Vijayan says, "What position did the UDF government take regarding the approach adopted by the Governor in appointing a temporary Vice Chancellor at MG University? A leader of a Sangh Parivar-affiliated teachers organisation was appointed as the Vice Chancellor of MG University. Ordinarily, this is something that should have been opposed. However, no such opposition came from the government. 19 Parivar members have been included in the university Senate. In such a situation, it is the responsibility of the government in power to express its opinion and oppose such actions. Yet neither the government nor the UDF political leadership was prepared to do so. The Higher Education Minister has publicly stated that there will be no confrontation of any kind with the Governor. The Governor's position is one that serves the interests of the RSS. What has been seen from the UDF government is complete surrender before the RSS position. In this context, the reply given by the Chief Minister is extremely misleading. The Governor's intervention in universities began only after the BJP government came to power at the Centre."
