The Kerala Students’ Union (KSU) has alleged that K. Vidya, who is in the eye of a storm over allegedly forging an experience certificate of Maharaja’s College, Ernakulam, had secured admission for PhD at the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady, in violation of reservation norms with the knowledge of the CPI(M) leadership.
Addressing the media here on Thursday, KSU State president Aloshious Xavier asked the university to publish the report of the SC/ST Cell that had been asked to probe various complaints. He also called for the cancellation of Vidya’s PhD admission.
Mr. Xavier demanded a forensic examination of the allegedly forged experience certificate produced by Vidya to verify whether the seal on it was the original seal kept at Maharaja’s College or not. He alleged that the current vice principal of the college was a junior faculty member who was appointed in violation of University Grants Commission (UGC) norms. He also alleged that vice principals signing files in favour of the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) in the absence of the principal had been a common practice for years.
Mr. Xavier demanded that files signed by vice principals over the past seven years should be examined. A nexus between the vice principal, governing council, examination department, a Left-affiliated teachers’ organisation, and the SFI leadership was at work at Maharaja’s College, he alleged.
A petition has been sent to the Governor raising the charges, Mr. Xavier said, adding that he would meet the Governor in person next week.
The KSU will take out a march to the Sanskrit varsity demanding a probe into the alleged irregularities, including the granting of PhD admission to Vidya, on Friday at 11 a.m.
