Oppn. sees bid to save CM and Bindu from adverse rulings
The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) Opposition on Thursday sought the intervention of Governor Arif Mohammed Khan to thwart the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government’s “under-the-table” move to promulgate an Ordinance to “defang” the Kerala Lok Ayukta and relegate the Ombudsman to a “nominal advisory role” in critical public interest cases related to corruption, nepotism, maladministration and abuse of official power.
A UDF delegation led by Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan met Mr. Khan and entreated him to withhold gubernatorial assent to the proposed executive order.
