India TV NewsDay after the agitating students of the Banaras Hindu University called off their sit-in stir, former faculty members of the same Sanskrit Vidya Dharm Vigyan department, raised objection to the appointment of a Muslim professor. "The Sanskrit Vidya Dharm Vigyan department should not be tinkered with as the appointment of any non-Hindu is against the established norms and tradition of the department," the letter mentioned. "The appointment of any non-Hindu to the department would cause disruption to the religious, tradition, karma kanda education of students training to be acharyas and shastris of the religion," the letter further said. Former BHU Professor Rewa Prasad Dwiwedi, who is also emeritus professor at SVDV, said that the department would become irrelevant if such kind of appeasement continues.
