The Calcutta University on Thursday refused to allow a programme which was to be addressed by JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh on its campus, sources said.

The authorities have not cited any reason for the refusal to allow the programme of a Left-leaning organisation, 'Calcutta University Save Autonomy Save University Forum', they said.

Ghosh was a speaker in the seminar that was scheduled to be held in the College Street campus of the Calcutta University.

The JNUSU leader had suffered head injuries during the violence at the JNU on the night of January 5 as a group of masked people armed with sticks attacked students and teachers, besides damaging property on the campus.
