: Kerala Governor Arif Muhammed Khan on Thursday termed as improper the state government moving the Supreme Court against the Citizenship law without informing him first as he was a constitutional head of the state.
The government had moved the apex court on Monday against the new Citizenship law, saying it was contradictory to constitutional ethos.
Protocol demanded that he should have been informed first rather than coming to know about it from newspapers, Khan told reporters at the airport here.
He also wondered whether the state could move the apex court without the Governor's approval.
Despite being the constitutional head of the state, Khan said he had come to know through newspapers the petition in the Supreme Court
Khan has been at loggerheads with the LDF government since it convened a special assembly session to pass a resolution seeking to scrap the Citizenship Amendment Act. (CAA)
