Dr. Vikas Sharma also said the varsity has become a rehabilitation center for retired and corrupt officials. “The varsity administration has violated the norms by recruiting the retired teachers and other staff members. As per the Central University Statutes, the serving officials should not be above 65 years but the administration has recruited some teachers who are above 65years,” he said.

Condemning the unethical move of the government to allow opening of wine shops within 100 meters distance from religious and educational places, Dr. Vikas said that on the one hand the Modi government is making thrust in the education sector and improving the lot of students as also maintaining amity and harmony amongst different communities in the state and on the other hand, the administration of the state under President rule is giving thrust to increase the number of wine takers encouraging their intoxication habits by way of fumbling with the earlier fixed parameters for opening wine shops within 300 meters.
Dr. Vikas appealed the Governor to come out of intoxication of deep slumber and take immediate steps to reverse the orders or any proposal under consideration of his government for reducing the distance of 300 meters to 100 meters for opening of new wine shops within the vicinity of religious places and educational institutions.
