Actually, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan has said the above things while answering a question of the media in New Delhi. He asked whether the job of an academic scholar is to fight. Irfan Habib is a goon. When I tried to reply, they scuffled and tried to suppress my voice, he said, referring to the December 2019 incident that Habib had reached out to him to fight.
Let us tell you that at that time the Indian History Congress was organized at Kannur University, which was inaugurated by Arif Mohammad Khan. Habib was also a speaker at that event.
