Oust JNU V-C at once: BJP’s Murli Manohar Joshi joins chorus

New Delhi: Senior BJP leader and former Union minister Murli Manohar Joshi have also demanded the ouster of JNU Vice-Chancellor Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar.

In a statement, Joshi said, “Reports are that the HRD Ministry had twice advised the JNU V-C to implement a certain reasonable and working formula for resolving the issue for enhanced fees in JNU. He has advised us to reach out to the teachers and students. It is shocking that the V-C is adamant for not implementing the government proposal.” Upping the ante on the controversial JNU V-C whose tenure has been marked by protests, Joshi added, “This attitude is deplorable and in my opinion, such a V-C should not be allowed to continue in his post.”

This demand is significant as Joshi is probably the first BJP leader who has joined the chorus for Kumar’s ouster. This demand interestingly comes on a day when JNU students tried to march to Rashtrapati Bhawan, demanding the same. (IANS)
