New Delhi: Flaying the
Delhi University's registrar's directive to eschew protests on a
working day, the Delhi University Teachers Association (DUTA) said
they will go ahead with their agitation Thursday.
The registrar had Tuesday written to DUTA urging them not to
strike on a working day as it would lead to severe disruption of
the academic and administrative functioning of the varsity and a
violation of the standing order of the Delhi High Court
The DUTA, however, Wednesday said the varsity administration had
no right to stop them and they would be protesting outside Vice
Chancellor Dinesh Singh's office Thursday.
"The administration takes recourse to seemingly legal language in
issuing illegal orders to stop teachers from highlighting serious
issues affecting the University," said DUTA secretary S.D.
Siddiqui, calling the attitude "rigid and adamant".
However, the teachers added that their participation in the
protest would not hamper the education of the students.
"Whenever teachers would be free from their lectures they will
join the dharna. No classes will be missed," DUTA president Amar
Deo Sharma told IANS.
"The protest is being called against the vice chancellor's
autocratic manner, enquiry against principals of Dayal Singh and
Ram Lal Anand College, filling of teaching and non-teaching
vacancies, releasing pension of retired teachers, speeding up
process of promotion and converting CPF (Contributory Provident
Fund) to GPF (General Provident Fund)," said a DUTA official.
