Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on Saturday said eminent historian Irfan Habib had tried to disrupt his inaugural address at the Indian History Congress and this ‘intolerance’ towards a different opinion was ‘undemocratic’. The Governor said in a series of tweets that Habib also questioned his right to quote Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad and shouted saying that he should quote Godse. Unprecedented protests were witnessed at the inaugural function of the Congress held at Kannur university while Governor was delivering the inaugural address. Protests were also held outside the venue.
