Annoyed by the terms and conditions imposed by the Central University of Karnataka for holding the 75th Republic Day meeting at the university, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister and Kalaburagi in-charge Priyank Kharge has said that the university administration has insulted the Constitution by criminalising democratically elected people’s representatives.
Speaking at a meeting organised by the Central University’s SCs/STs Employees Welfare Association (SEWA) on the university campus on Monday, Mr. Kharge read out some of the conditions imposed by the university Registrar and added that he will take up the issue with the Chief Secretary of Karnataka.
In a letter to SEWA, the Registrar has imposed a few conditions such as the programme shall be confined to the employees of the university and that the academic activities shall not be disturbed and asked the organisers to ensure strict compliance with the code of conduct of the employees.
