New Delhi [India], October 10 (ANI): Senior Leader and Polit Bureau member of Communist Party of India (Marxist) Brinda Karat on Thursday hit back on Kerala Givernor Arif Mohammad Khan for seeking report from CM Pinarayi Vijayan over his recent remark on the "nature of anti-national activities" and actions taken against those involved.

Speaking to ANI, Karat said that, "It's very unfortunate to make such remark as it seems that Kerala governor is a serial offender for the violation of the Constitution propriety and his constitutional role."

"Governor Khan has absolutely no right under the constitution of India to comment, or to ask in a written demand from the CM about any remark he may or may not have made. The very fact that he is acting like this is because he is not acting as Ambassador of constitution of India but as the ambassador from Delhi Raj in Kerala repersenting the narrow interest of BJP," she told ANI.

On October 8, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had issued a letter to the Rajbhavan stating that summoning officials without informing the elected government is beyond the constitutional authority of the governor.
