UGC directive on DU will boomerang on NDA govt, says Azad

Firstpost  

“That is something is non-application of mind and its going to boomerang,” Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad told reporters here when asked about the decision on reverting to three-year undergraduate courses from the four-year undergraduate programme implemented last year. Srinagar: Terming the UGC directive on the rollback of the four-year undergraduate programme as a decision taken in “haste”, Congress today said the step was going to “boomerang” on the BJP-led NDA government. Azad said, the BJP-led NDA government should implement its manifesto only after going into the details of the benefits it will accrue to people. He said while the issue was part of the Delhi BJP election manifesto, the government should not act in “haste” while implementing its poll promises.
