Kozhikode Corporation Council passes motion against Lakshadweep Administrator Updated: Updated: ‘Powers being misused to threaten life and identity of islanders’ Share Article ‘Powers being misused to threaten life and identity of islanders’ The Kozhikode Corporation on Friday passed an adjournment motion that demanded that the Central government replace Lakshadweep Administrator Praful Khoda Patel, considering the widespread protest against his recent reforms in the islands. CPI(M) councillor Rajeev K., who presented the motion, said the Administrator was misusing his powers to threaten the life, identity and property of islanders. IUML councillor K. Moideen Koya supported Mr. Rajeev, and pointed out that Kerala had a responsibility to Lakshadweep, considering the number of islanders who often visited the State for medical needs and higher education.
