Imphal, February 12 2009:
Reacting to the statement of the PRO of Manipur University which clarified the reasons for the cancellation of interview for the recruitment of professor in Physics department and the postponement of viva-voce for the recruitment of two professors in Mathematics department, the Manipur University Students' Union (MUSU) today said that the statement of the PRO lacks raison d'etre.
It may be mentioned that M Saratchandra, PRO of MU had clarified in a statement yesterday that the interview for the recruitment of professor in the University's Physics department has been cancelled due to technical lapses in the department and the interview for the recruitment of two professors in the Mathematics department has been postponed due to shortage of quorum members of the expert team.
Speaking at a press meet today at the MU's Students' Home, the MUSU president Ksh Narayan said that the act of the University's authority in canceling and postponing the scheduled interview date at the eleventh hour lacks basis and foundation while saying that this has been done at the behest of somebody.
Narayan said that the agitation launched by MUSU is not initiated immediately but it is an agitation that has been set off against the corrupt practice of the authorities in supply and contract works of the university since long time.
He charged that the MU Administrative block has been under the control of persons who are educated but have polluted mind.
The impasses here show that the authorities concerned have illegally spent the resources of MU, Narayan alleged while asserting that the agitation of MUSU will continue its agitation till the authorities concerned make clarification over their misdeeds.
