List of the appointed Governors

New Delhi: Former Union Minister Arif Mohammad Khan along with three others were appointed Governors of four different states on Sunday, while Kalraj Mishra shifted to Rajasthan from Himachal Pradesh.
Khan has been appointed Governor of Kerala, Tamilisai Soundararajan of Telangana, former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Bhagat Singh Koshyari of Maharashtra, and former Union Minister Bandaru Dattatraya of Himachal Pradesh.
Khan had extended support to the Centre’s move to triple . He will replace Justice Palanisamy Sathasivam.
In June, when the Triple Talaq Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi quoted Khan in his speech in the Lower House while seeking Congress’ support.
Khan, who was a Union Minister during former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s tenure, had resigned after the then government decided to overturn the Supreme Court judgment in the case of Shah Bano by bringing legislation in Parliament. He left the Congress in 1986 over the Muslim Personal Law Bill and triple talaq legislation.
Soundarajan , the daughter of former Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president Kumari Ananthan, was also appointed the chief of the party’s BJP unit in 2014 following the resignation of Pon Radhakrishnan from the post.
