Govt out to nail LU V-C?
Tough days are ahead for Lucknow University vice-chancellor Prof RP Singh, as the state machinery gears up to nail him.
While, on one hand the government officers are focussing on the complaints lodged by student leaders having criminal records, on the other, employees union and teachers associations have been asked to provide facts which could help initiate action against the vice-chancellor.
Further, managements of seven degree colleges, who closed their institutions sine die along with the university, are being coerced to desert university administration. Simultaneously, police force has been withdrawn from the university campus.
Sample this: On Sunday, on the directions of chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, chief secretary (CS) NC Vajpai and director general of police (DGP) Bua Singh gave special audience to student leaders with criminal records, who are also responsible for the present crisis prevailing on the campus.
Later, secretary, higher education was directed by the CS to take "positive action" on the complaints lodged by the student leaders. The secretary higher education, within 24 hours, sought explanation from the university as to why decision of sine die closure was taken when according to student leaders there was no law and order problem on the campus.
The university, in its reply provided details of criminal records of all the seven student leaders and day-wise account of violence perpetrated by the student leaders on the campus since November 21, which forced the closure and purging of the hostels.
Led by former Lucknow University students union president Rajpal Kashyap, student leaders who met chief secretary included Ram Singh Rana, Pawan Pandey, Vinod Tripathi, Ranjit Singh Baghel, Krishna Mohan Verma, Brijesh Yadav and Vijay Kumar Singh.
All the student leaders, who were given audience by the CS and the DGP, have 5-10 criminal cases in police records.
