SHILLONG, June 23: Being weighed down by non-bailable arrest warrant against the Chancellor of CMJ University, Chandra Mohan Jha, the fugitive Chancellor finding no other means to redress his grievances on Sunday has knocked on the door of the President of India, Pranab Mukherjee.
In a letter sent to the President of India, Pranab Mukherjee, the Chancellor of CMJ University, Chandan Jha alleged that the Governor’s action has imperiled the very existence of the University and has also placed in jeopardy the career of thousands of students who are pursuing their degrees from the University from the past 3 years.
Defending himself, Jha said that he is being bounded and hunted like a common criminal by issuance of a non bailable warrant by a local court.
“Chancellors of Universities are not directly responsible either for the admissions, examinations, results and issuance of mark sheets or degrees, nor in any way involved in the daily affairs of the University,” Jha said in the letter.
He also said that the whole unsavory incident is being orchestrated by the Governor for his ulterior motives.
“ln a record of sorts the Governor wrote for the dissolution of the University and on the very next day the state government had accepted the recommendation for dissolution. The Governor also recommended for a CBI probe into the affairs of the University when the CID enquiry is still on and an expert committee of UGC has been constituted to enquire into the affairs ofthe University at the behest of the Governor,” Jha said.
He therefore urged the President to personaìly intervene in this matter as the future of thousands of students are at Stake due to the rash, reckless and imprudent action of the Governor, RS Mooshahary.
He also said that such dictatorial impulses of Governor must be controlled and suitable directions should be given to the Governor.
