Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on Monday said that he will not be brow-beaten by the protest of the Students Federation of India, the CPI (M)'s student wing. "I have said several times that if protestors come near my car, then I will step down. One thing should be clear in their minds, I am not going to be frightened. I believe in facing the brutes," Governor Khan told reporters. The SFI workers showed black flags to Governor Khan in Mattannur on Sunday evening.
