Amid a controversy over renaming of the Dyal Singh (Evening) College as Dyal Singh Vande Matram College, the institution's chairman Amitabh Sinha today said the Delhi University is an autonomous varsity and the government cannot interfere in its administrative matters.
Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar had yesterday said the government would not allow the renaming and take action against the management committee of the college for going ahead with it without the ministry's consent.
In a press conference here today, Sinha said, "The DU is an autonomous university and therefore, the government cannot have a say in its administrative matters. The HRD Minister should have spoken to me first to know the exact status before making such a statement."
