The Chaudhary Charan Singh College (CCSU) in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut has barred a political science professor at a distinguished, government-funded faculty from examination and analysis work for all times after she allegedly set a query paper with two ‘objectionable’ questions associated to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Meerut School acted towards Professor Seema Panwar, the top of its political science division, after the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), which is affiliated to the RSS, staged a protest over the paper on the CCSU campus on Saturday.
The controversy arose over a Political Science examination held on April 2 for second-year college students. The paper had two multiple-choice questions (MCQs) linked to the RSS. Whereas query quantity 87 requested what led to the rise of the RSS, with one of many selections suggesting it was because of non secular and caste-based politics, one of many solutions to query quantity 97 talked about the RSS together with the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Entrance and Naxalites.
Dhirendra Kumar Verma, Registrar, CCSU, mentioned the college had determined to debar the professor for all times from all examination and analysis work after holding a gathering on the problem. “The college by no means evaluations the query papers set by chosen specialists of various fields as a result of it’s believed that she or he, being an knowledgeable of the topic, has set the query paper as per the established norms. Therefore, there shouldn’t be any doubt on his or her vested pursuits,” Verma mentioned.
Professor Panwar, on her half, submitted a written apology to the college administration and mentioned that the possible solutions talked about within the query paper had been from the textbook and never out of syllabus.
“I’ve been within the educating occupation for 25 years. Not one of the questions within the examination paper was out of syllabus. The MCQs have choices for the suitable and fallacious solutions…The guide by M Lakshmikant is authorised within the CCSU curriculum within the Political Science stream and places the RSS on the high of the non secular stress group. Therefore, it was one of many selections,” Panwar defined.
