Assam University Students Union gives ultimatum to VC

SILCHAR, Feb 19: Assam University Students Union had given a three-day ultimatum to the University Authority demanding clarification from Vice-Chancellor Prof Tapodhir Bhattacharjee in the merit list controversy. A delegation of the student union led by its general secretary Samar Bijoy Das yesterday met Controller of Examinations Dr P Deb Nath and urged him to show the rules on basis of which the University Authority had changed the merit list for the PG examinations held last year.

Deb Nath failed to show the same and asked the students to seek clarification from the VC instead. Prof Bhattacharjee however refused to give the students an audience. The irate students later sent a memorandum asking the VC to clarify why and how names of toppers in Ecology and Environment Science and Mass Communication Abul Fazal Laskar and Junali Deka in the merit list notified on January 24 were degraded to second position to pave the way for Bidisha Chakraborty and Ayiriddhi Bhattacharjee to become the toppers in the respective departments.

Ayiriddhi Bhattacharjee was the niece of Prof Bhattacharjee and allegation of nepotism had been raised against the University Authority. source: the sentinel assam
