Pro-Brexit Gove sacked from the British government

London: Prominent pro-Brexit campaigner Michael Gove has been sacked from his cabinet post of justice secretary by Britain`s new Prime Minister Theresa May, Sky News reported on Thursday citing sources.

Gove, who challenged May for the leadership of the centre-right Conservative party, was criticised by some for appearing to scupper former London mayor and now Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson`s chances of taking the helm by launching his own bid.
