Jagdeep Dhanka visiting Jadavpur University Pro Vice-Chancellor P.K. Ghosh in a hospital in KolkataPTI
Jadavpur University Vice-Chancellor Surajan Das on Saturday hoped there would not be any unrest at the university similar to the September 19 stand-off between some students and Union Minister Babul Supriyo that ended at the intervention of Governor Jagdeep Dhankar.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Dhanakar and Education Minister Partha Chatterjee visited the Vice-Chancellor in a private hospital.
Both the Vice-Chancellor and Pro Vice-Chancellor Pradip Kumar Ghosh were admitted to hospital after the unrest.
“The Chancellor indicated that as guardian, he will make an all-out effort to interact with the students, the faculty and the management so that the university is put on the growth trajectory, and a wholesome environment for education is available to the students who are the future of the nation,” a statement from the Raj Bhavan said.
Lapses alleged
The Governor’s visit is also significant as the earlier statements from the Raj Bhavan had referred to “the issue of serious lapses on the part of the Vice-Chancellor, including virtual abandonment of his obligations”.
Education Minister Partha Chaterjee said Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wanted the situation at the university to become normal. “She has said the government stands with the students, the teachers and the staff of the university,” he said.
The Trinamool Congress and the Governor traded charges over the unrest.
Mr. Partha Chatterjee called the Governor’s visit to the university “most unfortunate and shocking”, without informing the elected government for the “so-called rescue of the BJP leader”.
The Governor responded that the Trinamool Congress’s statement was “unfortunate” and said: “Obviously, he [Mr. Chatterjee] did not know of the developments that took place between the Governor and the DGP/Chief Secretary, as also the conversation with the Chief Minister.”
