Can't run university if we listen to every demand of every girl: BHU VC

Deccan Chronicle  

Varanasi: The Vice-Chancellor of the Banaras Hindu University, Chancellor Girish Chandra Tripathi, has been constantly refuting the allegations of female students that there are safety issues on the campus. In the process of negating the allegations, he has also said that the protests that erupted on the campus on Friday, following the molestation of one female student the day before, was “created by outsiders” with “vested interests” as Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in the city, The Indian Express reported. I think this issue was created by outsiders and the shape it took is what is more unfortunate than the initial incident itself,” Tripathi said, adding that the victim was “used” for “political gains”. Speaking to the newspaper about the alleged incidents of molestation and eve-teasing on the campus, the VC said, “Incidents can happen and they do”.
