Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh): ‘Order’ seems to be missing in day-to-day affairs of the Vikram University. Every day one or other controversies are cropping-up. On Friday, the students of Khachrod reached the university in buses to protest. Seeing their crowd, the registrar left the office haphazardly.
The students who reached Ujjain under the banner of the National Student Union of India (NSUI) protested against the alleged inequality arising following the implementation of the New Education Policy.
The registrar allegedly used abusive words while the students were handing over the memorandum. Seeing himself surrounded by the protesting students, the registrar left the spot in a huff.
Corporator Narayan Mandavlia, who came to submit the memorandum, said that zero-zero numbers were given to the students in the base course. The issue of B.Com students was resolved but the issue of students of other faculties is yet to be addressed. These students have come to give a memorandum in this regard, he added.
State NSUI secretary Tarun Giri while demanding the resignation of the registrar alleged that registrar Dr Prashant Puranik was working for the BJP leaders and so he has no right to continue on the post.
NSUI president Ritesh Sharma, accused the registrar of rigging. The registrar has created a dictatorship, he is increasing 30-30 number of people in each subject, he alleged.
