NAGPUR UNIVERSITY NEWS: The Nagpur University administration has done it again. After issuing a gag orders to employees, vice chancellor Vilas Sapkal had allegedly dropped contentious queries raised by
members for the forthcoming senate meeting on November 3. In fact, management council member Dinesh Agrawal even staged a walkout from last Thursday's meeting in this regard, accusing the VC-led administration of suppressing democratic rights of members to ask queries.
He revealed that over 20 queries with respect to various scams and paper leaks that took place in the university were deliberately dropped to avoid facing criticism from members. The queries included those regarding inaction of NU administration in tracing the culprits of sensational BCCA paper leak exposed by TOI. He claimed that many of these queries were related to VC's functioning and so they were rejected citing Section 38 of the statute. NU PRO couldn't be contacted in this regard as he was busy with official meetings.
Agrawal further said that though the queries were rejected by VC and also the management council, the statutory body can't be said to be a part of it, considering the fact that four members from Secular Panel, including himself, had dissociated themselves from the process during Thursday's meeting and not signed the documents.
He claimed that the VC can't reject the questions asked regarding his conduct as he was representing the chancellor in senate meet and only the latter can decide on it. "The VC can't give a ruling on the chancellor's behalf while rejecting queries against himself. We are going to raise this issue with chancellor K Sankaranarayanan and also in the senate meeting," he warned.
The former engineering dean said that Thursday's meeting itself was illegal since the chancellor's nominee to the council Sanjay Khadakkar was not invited. "Without this nominee, major decisions can't be taken," he said.
