Accusing "outsiders" of "creating trouble", West Bengal Governor and ex-officio Jadavpur University chancellor K.N. Tripathi Thursday said the educational institution should not be politicised.
"As far as Jadavpur University is concerned, let the students learn and let others remain outside the campus. The trouble in Jadavpur University is being created by outsiders," Tripathi told mediapersons on the sidelines of a programme here.
"Let the university not be politicised. Let it be a centre of excellent education," he added.
Students have been demonstrating demanding removal of Vice Chancellor Abhijit Chakrabarty since Sep 17 when university authorities allegedly ordered a police crackdown to break up a peaceful sit-in of students pressing for an independent investigation into the alleged molestation of a woman student inside a hostel last month.
