Dalit and human rights organisations are planning to launch an indefinite protest against the alleged irregularities in the appointment of assistant professors in the teaching departments of the University of Calicut.
Functionaries of the Forum for Social Justice claim that T.S. Shyam Kumar could not get appointment in the department of Sanskrit and S. Thara and Suresh Puthanparambil in the department of Malayalam owing to the faulty reservation roster prepared by the university authorities.
The forum was formed by members of the Dalit Samudaya Munnani, Aided Meghala Samvarana Prakshobha Samithi, Enlightened Youth Movement, Black Skin, and Dalit-Adivasi Gaveshaka Koottayma.
