Imphal, September 02 2018:
CPI (M) Manipur State Committee has condemned the unwarranted and authoritarian steps taken against the teaching and non teaching staff by Professor AP Pandey, the VC of Manipur University on leave.
A press release issued by CPI (M) secretary Ksh Santa stated that Manipur University became a playing field of the authoritarian saffron forces ever since Professor AP Pandey took over as the VC.
Alleging that the university academic atmosphere and administration failed due to his arrogant actions towards the students, staff and teachers, it claimed that Pandey's one line programme for the university was to saffronise the entire university with an iron fist so as to please his saffron bosses.
It further claimed that Pandey's true colours can be seen from his order yesterday that banned MUTA and MUSA apart from threatening to take actions against all the teachers and staff of the university.
The VC on leave, it seems, does not understand the Constitution which gives Indian citizens the right to form associations or unions under Article 19 (c), CPI (M) scoffed and alleged that Pandey has become an anti-National and anti-people authoritarian administrator.
The party further pledged support to the movement of the university community and appealed them to meet the challenges from the dictatorial administrator for a better academic and administrative atmosphere in the university in particular and the State in general.
