Aland MLA B.R. Patil visited the campus of the Central University of Karnataka near Kalaburagi on Wednesday and extended support to students who are on strike condemning the cancellation of Ph.D admissions to certain students.
“As a lawyer, I can say that the circular issued by the university authorities cancelling the Ph.D admissions is illegal. None can go against the law. However, the university authorities have taken a step that goes against the law. It cannot stand in a court of law. They will be proved wrong. Your agitation is an ideological battle and I am with you,” Mr. Patil, who is also Political Advisor to Chief Minister, said.
Appealing to the university authorities to discuss the issue with the agitating students and settle the matter amicably to restore good educational environment so that all students can continue their studies and research freely, Mr. Patil demanded that the university authorities withdraw the circular that cancelled the Ph.D admissions of certain students and also the restrictions imposed on students.
