‘Shocking’: BJP’s Murli Manohar Joshi Wants JNU VC’s Removal

Joshi said it’s “shocking” the VC is adamant on not implementing government proposal to resolve fee-hike crisis.

Former HRD minister and senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi on Thursday, 9 January called for the removal of JNU Vice Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar, saying it is “shocking” that he is adamant on not implementing a government proposal to resolve fee-hike crisis in the university.

“Reports are that the HRD ministry had twice advised the JNU VC to implement certain reasonable and working formula for resolving the issue of enhanced fees in JNU. He was also advised to reach out to teachers and students,” he tweeted.

“It is shocking that the VC is adamant on not implementing the government proposal. This attitude is deplorable and in my opinion such a VC should not be allowed to continue on this post,” Joshi tweeted.
