Take action against Fergusson college principal: NCP

Former NCP minister Jayant Patil today demanded action against the principal of Pune's Fergusson College over his letters to city police seeking action against a group of students for allegedly shouting anti-national slogans during an event on the campus.
"The principal wrote three letters, each claiming a different thing. This shows he was under pressure from someone," Patil said during a debate on the issue in the Maharashtra Assembly.
"This is not the way a responsible principal should behave. Responsibility should be fixed and action should taken against him," he said.
Patil said when NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad visited the college, he was attacked but no action was taken against the assailants.

NCP MLAs wore black bands on hands to protest the assault.
The House was adjourned thrice as slogan-shouting NCP legislators created a ruckus while protesting the attack on Awhad.
An ABVP-organised discussion on Fergusson campus 'Truth of JNU' had led to the fracas last week, involving two groups of students. College authorities had claimed that some anti-national slogans were shouted during the clash.
