The leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Assembly on Saturday submitted a notice to the Speaker for permission to move a resolution to urge the President to recall governor Arif Mohammed Khan for “humiliating” the House and questioning its dignity. Speaker P. Sreeramakrishnan told reporters he had received the notice and the House business advisory committee would take the final decision on it. “I have given a notice for a resolution seeking (permission to urge) the President to recall the governor who has humiliated the Assembly and the government,” Chennithala told a news conference in Thiruvananthapuram. “Going public with his objections and humiliating the Assembly session can never be justified,” the Congress leader said. On Saturday, chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan refused to comment on the notice against the governor but Khan welcomed it.
