Kochi: Kerala Chief Minister V D Satheesan on Sunday fumed at three Vice Chancellors participating in an RSS event where RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat gave a lecture. The Vice Chancellors Mohanan Kunnummal of University of Kerala, C R Prasad of Malayalam University and Mavoothu Duraipandi of Mahatma Gandhi University were those criticised by Satheesan.
“This is a grave lapse on the part of the Vice Chancellors. It is unbecoming of Kerala’s educational tradition and the dignity of the office they hold,” he said. He alleged that the VCs participation in an event associated with RSS ideology and actions promoting communalism would not be accepted.
They should apologise to Kerala,” he added.
Duraipandi is a former professor and former Director of the School of Management Studies at Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT). It was also alleged that at least 15 of the 30 Senate members nominated have Sangh Parivar connections.
