Kerala University Laws (Amendment) Bill bars teachers from speaking against state, allows criticising Centre

By IBNS
May 23, 2025..

The Kerala University Laws (Amendment) Bill has triggered a controversy with its key provision prohibiting university and college teachers from engaging in activities that would criticise state laws.


While criticism of central government laws and policies remains permissible, this selective restriction has drawn criticism for potentially curbing free expression within academic settings, reported Mathrubhumi.
The bill is reportedly under consideration by the Governor at present.

Kerala’s Higher Education Minister criticised the Mathrubhumi's article and called it a 'distortion'.

Speaking to The News Minute, the Higher Education Minister R Bindu said that the word ‘State’ in the bill refers to the country, not Kerala state.

“We are allowing the teachers organisational freedom, not prohibiting their rights. I also noticed the distorted news spreading. State law should be interpreted as laws that exist in the country, not in the state of Kerala,” she said.
