The Kerala government is facing resistance from Governor Arif Mohammed Khan regarding the Kerala Public Health Bill, 2021.

Traditional medicine practitioners also raised concerns about the bill, citing bias and disruption to their medical practices.

The Governor holds the power to take one of three actions under Article 200 of the Constitution in such cases.

State Principal Secretary, A.P.M. Mohammed Hanish, warned that entertaining these objections could set a concerning precedent and potentially breach the principle of separation of powers.

The Kerala government is considering seeking Supreme Court intervention to direct the Governor to address pending bills.

The clash revolves around the governor's role in relation to legislative matters, creating tensions between the executive and legislative branches.
