Dharamsala, March 24
Activists of the NSUI today staged a dharna outside the temporary complex of the Central University of Himachal Pradesh (CUHP). NSUI activists, while raising slogans against the state government and the university administration, alleged that a permanent campus of the CUHP should be brought up in Shahpur also.
Congress leader from Shahpur and HPCC general secretary Kewal Singh Pathania, while addressing the NSUI activists, alleged that the CUHP temporary campus had been functioning from Shahpur since 2010. Still the government was not proposing to set up its permanent campus here. He said while the government was proposing forest land for setting up of the CUHP campus in Dharamsala and Dehra, ample government land was available in Shahpur for bringing up permanent campus of CUHP, he said.
Pathania also alleged that the CUHP had been made a den of politics by the BJP. Activists of the ABVP and other right-wing parties have been recruited in the CUHP in violation of the basic rules and regulations. An inquiry should be initiated into the recruitments carried out in the CUHP in the last few years, he said.
NSUI activists threatened to intensify their agitation if the university campus was shifted from Shahpur.
