[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Tension prevails in Osmania University campus after police foiled the rally of Akhila Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) a student organization affiliated to the Bhartiya Janata Party from taking out a rally on Saturday.
Hundreds of students of the ABVP took out rallies to protest against the TSPSC paper leak case demanding the suspension of Dr. B Janardhan Reddy, chairman Telangana State Public Service Commissioner (TSPSC), an enquiry by a sitting judge of Telangana High Court into the alleged paper leak case.
The police had closed all the gates of the Osmania University campus to thwart attempts by ABVP activists. Several activists jumped over the gates to head towards Dharna Chowk where Bhartiya Janata Party leaders are holding a mass dharna on the paper leak case issue.
The police rounded up ABVP leaders and physically bundled them into police vehicles. The activists sat in front of the buses demanding the release of their leaders.
The roads on the campus are closed for general traffic and heavy police force is deployed at Nallakunta, Adikmet, O U police station, Tarnaka, and Vidyanagar.

Gujarat univ cancels seminar after ABVP opposes participation by Jamia prof

[ad_1]
Vadodara: The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (MSU) here on Wednesday cancelled a seminar after members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) objected to the participation by a professor from Jamia Millia Islamia university.
Zubair Meenai, the professor, is “a communist and known for making anti-India comments,” claimed a leader of the ABVP, a student organization affiliated to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
MSU’s Faculty of Social Work had organized the seminar on ‘Respecting diversity through joint social action’ on its campus on Wednesday afternoon.
As per the invitation, one of the invited speakers was Prof Meenai of the Department of Social Work, Jamia Millia Islamia university, New Delhi.
But soon after the event started, ABVP members reached the spot and started shouting the slogan ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, compelling the organisers to cancel the event.
In a video which went viral, ABVP members can be seen confronting the Dean of the Faculty of Social Work, Dr Bhavna Mehta.
When one of the ABVP members asked why they invited Meenai `who is known for making anti-India comments,’ Mehta said he was invited as an academician.
ABVP members then asked Mehta not to invite such people in the future.
Mehta was not available for comments.

“Meenai is a communist and known for making anti-India comments. He even made such comments against (late RSS ideologue) Nanaji Deshmukh. How come the Faculty did not find a worthy academician in Gujarat to speak on the subject that they had to invite him? ABVP will never tolerate such persons who have the anti-India mindset,” said Dhruv Parekh, the ABVP’s MSU unit president.

Guv to seek views from Kerala Univ VC on CPI-M youth leader PhD thesis row

[ad_1]
Thiruvananthapuram: With the controversy over errors in the PhD thesis of Kerala State Youth Commission Chairperson and CPI-M youth leader Chintha Jerome continuing, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, who is also the Chancellor of state universities, will seek an explanation from the Kerala University Vice Chancellor after receiving complaints in this regard.
This move has come at a time when the CPI-M top brass is mulling a scrutiny of the PhD thesis and has given the nod to the Kerala University to constitute a four-member team to scrutinise it.
This special team will submit its report to the University Syndicate, which will then be passed to the Senate. The Senate, in turn, will advise the Chancellor on what needs to be done.
Jerome’s dissertation is titled “The ideological foundation of Malayalam commercial cinema in the neoliberal times”, for which she was awarded a PhD in English Literature from the Kerala University in 2021.
Detractors of Jerome have come out with a fundamental mistake in her thesis where she has written that Malayalam poem titled “Vazhakkula” was penned by Vyloppilli while it was originally written by another hugely popular poet Changampuzha Krishna Pillai.
Jerome’s principal guide for her thesis was the then Pro V-C of Kerala University P.P. Ajayakumar.
Her fellow youth leaders in the CPI-M are defending her to the hilt by stating that it is just a technical error and spelling mistakes are not a serious issue as this is not the first time such things are happening.
Meanwhile for the first time after this controversy erupted, Jerome broke her silence and admitted that what happened was a human error.

“The reference to mistake that has occurred does not have relevance to the topic of the thesis. It was just said in context. I am thankful to those who have pointed out this error and this is just a human error. I am going to bring my thesis as a book and in it, the necessary corrections will be made,” she said.
Since this issue surfaced last week, every day there are protests and marches being taken out by the student and youth wing of the Congress.
Social media is buzzing with hilarious posts, many of which have become viral now.
Numerous complaints have also surfaced against this and with the Assembly session all set to resume its sitting shortly, all eyes will be on the Congress-led opposition.
