University Laws Amendment Bill 2022

The Left government in Kerala on Wednesday tabled the contentious University Laws (Amendment) Bill in the Assembly to replace the Governor as Chancellor of universities in the state.

Kerala governor Arif Mohammad Khan today said that he would not allow the appointment of unqualified relatives of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to universities.

The Kerala Assembly on Thursday passed the contentious University Laws (Amendment) Bill 2022, which would result in curtailing the powers of the Governor as Chancellor of state universities.

The development came just days after the House passed The West Bengal University Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2022, to appoint the CM, in place of the governor, as the chancellor of all state-run universities.

As Education Minister Bratya Basu started speaking after the completion of the discussion on the Bill, the BJP MLAs started protesting shouting "shame, shame!" Even as Mr Basu urged them not to leave their seats, the BJP MLAs walked out of the House.

State education minister Bratya Basu, after introducing The West Bengal University Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2022 in the House, said there was "nothing wrong" with the Chief Minister taking over as the Chancellor.
