The Students Federation of India (SFI) has again come under scathing Opposition attack for questionable academic conduct, seemingly putting the government and Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] on the defensive.
The latest row related to the Opposition accusation that an SFI leader, Nikhil Thomas, had furnished a fake degree certificate to gain admission to the MCom course at Milad E-Sherif Memorial (MSM) College, Kayamkulam.
College Principal A. Muhammad Taha has constituted a six-member committee to probe the charge. He said the college would seek a police investigation into the suspected academic fraud. He suspended Mr. Thomas pending inquiry.
