Thiruvananthapuram: at last chief minister of Kerala  V S Achuthanandan has broken his long pending silence over the Lavlin case . He said that Governors have the right to take decision as per their discretion and the Supreme Court had approved the same in certain cases. So there is no point in presenting the Governor’s prosecution consent as a unusual incident. He was speaking to newspersons while update the cabinet decisions here on Wednesday. This comes different to what was stated by Vaikom Viswam and Kodiyeri Balakrishnan on Tuesday.

On the accusation that the governor acted against the constitution, VS said that he has no comments. It is the responsibility of the governor to take a decision by detailed study and examination and he had informed his decision to the cabinet through credentials. VS said that he had handled the copy of the governor’s decision in a proper manner.
