SFI Complains to President Over Kerala Governor's Instagram Including BJP Name
The Students' Federation of India (SFI), affiliated with the CPI(M), has lodged a complaint with President Droupadi Murmu against Kerala Governor Om Prakash Mathur for including 'BJP' in his official Instagram handle. The SFI argues this compromises the expected political neutrality of a constitutional office-holder and undermines public trust. Mathur, who assumed office on October 23, has a longstanding association with the BJP and RSS. The presidential office has not yet responded to the complaint.
