Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, in his Republic Day message, emphasized the importance of preserving the autonomy of higher education institutions to prevent external interference and maintain a healthy academic environment. He urged the need for a culture of civility, empathy, and dialogue, encouraging faith in the power of argument within democracy. The remarks gain significance amid the Governor’s ongoing tensions with the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government, particularly concerning higher education administration. Khan also underscored the significance of cooperative federalism, referencing the Centre’s nationwide outreach program boycotted by the LDF government.
