Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan delivered a sharp critique of CPI(M) leader M Swaraj on Wednesday, labeling him as 'irresponsible'.
Khan's statement came in response to Swaraj's contentious remarks made during an event in Kannur, where the CPI(M) leader suggested that being of sound mind was not a requisite for gubernatorial appointments.
'Who is Mr. Swaraj? He may be anybody, but I do not respond to people like that. Irresponsible people. I do not respond to them,' Khan told reporters.
Swaraj had previously remarked that while soundness of mind is necessary for roles such as MLA, MP, minister, chief minister, Speaker, and prime minister, the only indisputable requirement to be a governor was to be over 35 years of age.
