Revenge, retribution and witch-hunting should never be an integral agenda of any government. But shunting off the 87 year old Gujarat Governor Dr Kamla Beniwal over 3000 kms away to Mizoram only shows to what levels the Narendra Modi government is ready to stoop.
That she is being tossed around though having just another three months to complete her term as Governor only goes to show how hard-hearted this government can be. The whimsical and malafied transfer of Governor Kamla Beniwal, that too at the very fag end of her tenure is highly deplorable. Being a daughter of a leading freedom fighter from the then Princely State of Jaipur, Kamla Beniwal was reportedly associated with the freedom struggle at the age of 11. At 87 she amazingly is still in that fighter mode not relenting to the attempt to unconstitutionally cut short her tenure. Commendable that she has shown the courage to take on the might of Narendra Modi. The Supreme Court four years ago in a land mark judgment had held that a "change in government at the Centre is not a ground for removal of Governors holding office to make way for others favoured by the new government."
