Sangh Parivar trying to ‘capture’ educational institutions, alleges Aishe Ghosh

SFI leader accuses Kalady Sanskrit University Vice-Chancellor of not tolerating dissent or holding dialogue with protesting students

Sangh Parivar trying to ‘capture’ educational institutions, alleges Aishe Ghosh

The Students’ Federation of India (SFI) Secretary Aishe Ghosh alleged on Wednesday that the Sangh Parivar and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are attempting to seize control of educational institutions in the country. During an address at the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit (SSUS) in Kalady as part of an ongoing indefinite strike, Ghosh expressed her concern in her speech.

According to her, the Sangh Parivar and the RSS could only capture educational institutions that were established long ago. Ghosh accused the SSUS Vice-Chancellor of having an RSS and Sangh Parivar mindset by refusing to tolerate dissent and not holding dialogues with the protesting students. She urged Minister for Higher Education Roji M. John to request the Vice-Chancellor to engage in discussions with the students.

Ghosh also commented on the student protest at Jantar Mantar, stating it had given "all of us a hope that we will win, if we are united."
