Internal matters arising within any institution should be solved without involving outside parties, Chairman of Himachal Pradesh State Planning Board and 20-Point Programme Implementation Committee, Ram Thakur said today as he blamed "vested interests" for creating trouble at the CSK Himachal Pradesh Agriculture University at Palampur.
Talking to reporters here after inaugurating the 24th Inter-College University Athletic meet, Thakur said that internal issues of the varsity had been dragged outside through agitations and dharnas and that was bound to harm the interests of CSK university.
Claiming that the ruling Congress had released Rs 25 crore towards the payment of pensions and arrears of retired CSK university employees, Thakur added that another Rs 18 crore was to be extended soon to the varsity.
Alleging that the previous BJP government had failed to give any funds to the university, he claimed that employees associated with BJP were trying to destabilise the institution ahead of Lok Sabha elections later this year.
