JAMMU | JUNE 14
Fossil controversy seems to have no end as reacting to the claims from the Kashmir University scholars the JURSEA and Cultural Council from Jammu University in a press conference countered the allegations of the KU Scholars and said that they are claiming the fossil that was abandoned in an isolated place in Kashmir unnoticeably.
Worth to mention that Kashmir University Students have alleged that Jammu University Students are spreading ‘religionalism’ over the ‘shifting of fossil of a mammoth’ presently kept at University of Jammu.
Addressing the media persons, Rajinder Manhas Chairman JURSEA said that Jammu University has been unnecessarily dragged into the controversy, earlier they kept the precious and matchless fossil abandoned and when the Jammu University wanted it to give due acknowledgement they are making hue and cry.
Another member Amit Sharma speaking on the occasion said that fossil was lying in depleted condition for 6years in Pampore and due to the ‘nelson’s eye approach’ and step motherly treatment meted out by the Kashmir University, the excavators Dr G M Bhatt decided to shift to Jammu before the evidence of ancient life vanishes in the passage of time and due to negligence. He also said the due to the callous and negligent attitude the rare fossil has developed cracks and signs of vandalism.
Amita Malhotra, Secretary Cultural council said that regionalism is a ridiculous remark by some irresponsible students of Kashmir University and needs not to be given a serious thought as people from distant corners of the country as well as abroad have been studying here in the serene atmosphere of JU campus.
The student leaders and scholar fraternity have also appealed to the chancellor, Pro chancellor, state government and other research and scientific organizations to decide fate of the fossil.
