| Akther shows thumb to BJP, gives clean chit to JU Vice-Chancellor | | What will Madhav do now? | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 26: The PDP senior leader and Education Minister Naeem Akther has once again proved that Bharatiya Janata Party is the junior partner in the coalition and all its ministers and leaders are second fiddles. He has reportedly given clean chit to Jammu University Vice-Chancellor Prof RD Sharma. Akther has apparently lauded Sharma for black listing the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarathi Parishad (ABVP) in JU campus. Akhtar, who was asked by the Chief Minister to look into the matter after BJP ministers in her cabinet, BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav and many BJP national spokespersons lambasted RD Sharma for his dictatorial attitude and demanded his dismissal.
Ram Madhav had tweeted: "BJP ministers take up Jammu Univ VC obstinate behavior against ABVP. Action will be taken".
Only recently, RD Sharma blacklisted ABVP and banned all of its activities on the campus, saying no organization affiliated to any political party shall be allowed to vitiate the academic atmosphere on the campus. In his defence, JU VC Sharma asserted that "They are free to carry out any activity as students of the university, but not as members of a students' organisation having known political affiliation". In other words, he said since the ABVP was affiliated to the RSS-BJP, it can't be allowed to organize any activity on the campus.
The BJP ministers and Ram Madhav had hoped that their intervention in the matter will produce the desired results and RD Sharma would be shown the door, but happened on Wednesday was to the contrary. The Education Minister without mincing words sided with RD Sharma and defended his action, which, of course, was highly controversial.
Significantly, the Congress and other secular parties, which had tore into the BJP-RSS and the Modi Government for what it did in the aftermath of what was done by the anti-nationals in Jawaharlal Nehru
University on February 9 saying the BJP Government was eroding the authority of autonomous academic institutions, have also defended the JU Vice-Chancellor RD Sharma. They said the "ABVP couldn't be allowed to vitiate the atmosphere on the campus".
Interestingly, RD Sharma was, according to insiders, the appointee of the BJP-RSS. He was appointed VC for three years on March 13, 2015, only 13 days after the PDP-BJP coalition government under Mufti
Mohammad Sayeed assumed the office.
The rigid attitude of RD Sharma and the support that he got from Naeem
Akhtar have rattled the BJP ministers and leadership. They have now said that they would raise the issue in the ongoing budget session and also meet the Governor, who also happens to be the Chancellor of Jammu University.
Indeed, the support that RD Sharma got from the state government has left Ram Madhav and the ilk red faced. The question to be asked is: What will Ram Madhav do now? Will he resign considering the fact that he is being considered persona non grata by the state government of which the BJP, which is ruling the country, is part of it. Similarly, what will the BJP ministers in the PDP-led government do now? Will they come out of the government or will they ate their words? And what about the ABVP? What will it do now? The BJP ministers in the state would surely dump the ABVP like the RSS and BJP fired its own two law officers, who wanted the J&K High Curt to direct the state government to implement the cow killing and beef eating laws. They, the BJP and the RSS want to enjoy power at whatever cost and they can dump anyone and any RSS-affiliated organization which comes in their way.
Even otherwise, the RSS and the BJP do not need any nationalistic activities in the state for obvious reasons and the most important reason is that the PDP will show it the door the day the RSS-BJP combine take recourse to activities they used to take recourse before March 1, 2015. |
