New Delhi, March 17

The Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has denied any official decision or administrative order to appoint Nita Ambani, the wife of billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani, as a visiting professor.

The “decision” is being opposed by students who have called it as a “wrong example” being set by the university.

On Tuesday, students protested outside the residence of Vice-Chancellor Rakesh Bhatnagar on the campus and submitted a memorandum.

The university also issued a clarificartion on Twitter.
