BJP general secretary Ram Madhav today claimed that the attitude of Jammu University Vice-Chancellor R D Sharma to ban the activities of the party's youth wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) was not "right" and alleged that has misused his autonomy.
"The attitude of Jammu University towards the students organizations is not right. Every right thinking person should oppose this attitude of banning students organizations in the campus. That is not acceptable.
"We have conveyed our strong opinion against his attitude to the people concerned in the government," Madhav told reporters here.
The BJP leader said students organizations should be allowed to carry on their activities inside universities.
You all know that a University enjoys autonomy. (But) he (VC) is definitely misusing his autonomy. If there are any problems with a particular activity, the organizations can be advised to make necessary amendments, he said.
But we should allow student organizations to carry on their activities in the campuses.
You want students to raise anti-India slogans in JNU but you do not want the students of Jammu University to say Bharat mata ki jai, he said, adding this kind of attitude by the VC is "unacceptable".
The BJP general secretary was here for a meeting with senior state leaders of the party.
He also met Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti last evening.
"I came here yesterday to meet with the honourable Chief Minister and discuss about the progress of our coalition government here.
"You know that it is one month since this government came over here after a gap of couple of months.
"I noticed that the government has settled down well. Things have started moving. There are certain issues in the state that the government is taking up with seriousness," he said.
Madhav said the meeting with the chef minister was good.
"We discussed a few issues and I am sincerely hoping that the government will move in the direction of delivering goods to the people," he said.
