"This is first time in the history of the university when students will be made part of a enquiry committee as members. They remanded and we full filled without giving any thought. It means tomorrow they will demand to sit in recruitment too. And we will accept. We are stooping so low the university statutes have no meaning for us", said one of the members of inquiry committee who resigned from the committee with other members on Thursday.
The JU had constituted a six-member committee to look into the causes of unrest in the campus. "Prof Pankaj Srivastav as convenor of the committee, while Prof Jaspal, Prof P S Manhas, Prof Monica Sethi, Prof Jyoti Wakhloo and Dr Satinder Kumar as members of the committee", informed a member.

"All the time, they (teachers) remained convenors/members of the committees, but never objected, now whey they are playing tricks, if there is not loophole on the part of teachers' fraternity they should welcome of our inclusion into the committee", the student said, whishing not to be named. |
