On the warpath with West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar, students of Jadavpur University have decided to "rusticate" him as the chancellor over a host of issues, including his stand on the contentious Citizenship Act.
In an e-mail to Raj Bhavan on December 24, the day Dhankhar was prevented by protesters from attending the annual convocation of the university, the Arts Faculty Students Union (AFSU) said, "Sir, you are not welcome in our campus."
Opposing the governor's views on "various contemporary issues," the mail said, "As you do not act like an unbiased constitutional head and since your attitude is not at all guardian-like towards the students, you are not welcome in our campus."
