Kerala Raj Bhavan Dismisses Security Concerns for Governor as Baseless

The Kerala Raj Bhavan has categorically dismissed media reports suggesting that it plans to request central forces' protection for Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar. The statement emphasized that there is no threat, either direct or indirect, to the Governor.

Moreover, the Raj Bhavan reaffirmed its complete confidence in the Kerala Police, lauding their efficiency and commitment to duty in ensuring the Governor's safety. The statement firmly ruled out any necessity for additional security measures.

Protests by Left student and youth organizations have emerged in response to the Governor's stance on displaying a Bharat Mata portrait at Raj Bhavan events. However, the Kerala Raj Bhavan described the media reports about security issues as mere speculations and called for responsible journalism.
