In a veiled attack on the State government, Governor Arif Mohammed Khan has attributed former APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU) Vice-Chancellor (V-C) Rajasree M.S.’s ouster from the position following a Supreme Court order to the failure to adhere to laws.
Mr. Khan, who is also the Chancellor of the university, took a swipe while inaugurating the first convocation of KTU in the presence of Higher Education Minister and Pro-Chancellor R. Bindu here on Tuesday.
While commencing his address, he turned his gaze towards Prof. Rajasree, who was among the audience, and credited her for working hard to build the university. “I hold her in highest esteem as an academician. But she had to leave because we still have to learn that the law and due procedure must be respected. She paid the price for our defaults,” he said as he faced the director of technical education in-charge with folded hands.
