DMK protests outside IIT Madras against ban on students' body for criticising PM Modi

Firstpost  

DMK and Dalit outfit VCK on Monday staged protests against the de-recognition of a students’ body at IIT, Madras. Chennai: DMK and Dalit outfit VCK on Monday staged protests against the de-recognition of a students’ body at IIT, Madras after a complaint that it was critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Though it seems that Prime Minister Modi doesn’t place importance on needless issues like banning a democratic group, his Ministers interfering unilaterally and in an authoritarian manner in such issues will impede youth’s thought process and affect the nation’s peace,” he had said in an apparent reference to Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani. IIT, Madras had however maintained that “as per the guidelines in force, student bodies cannot use the name of IIT Madras or its official entities in any capacity to publicise their activities or garner support without official permission.” “This group has violated the guidelines while conducting their meeting,” Prof Ramamurthy, Acting Director, had said last week.
