EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, May 2: Jammu Province Students Union (JPSU) has criticised the organisers of yesterday's Jammu bandh against the appointment of Amitabh Matoo as the first Vice Chancellor of Jammu Central University.
The Union pleaded that the intellectual of the level of Prof Matoo are beyond any religious or geographical boundaries and stalling his appointment would be great injustice to the higher education of the Jammu region.
Addressing media persons here, office bearers of the union said that Matoo is an intellectual of international repute and his appointment would bring the Central University of Jammu to the international levels taking the students of Jammu to the international foras. "Prof Mattoo is a State subject and adopting such a confrontationist attitude for an intellectual and institution builder of international repute is not his loss but that of the student community of Jammu who would benefit from his expertise in the field," they said.
They further said that his (Mattoo) appointment as Vice Chancellor of Jammu University was also earlier resented by such "selfish people" but he proved to be an asset to the higher education of Jammu taking the University to the Global level.
The student leaders ridiculed the Panthers Party for supporting the bandh call and said, "The party had itself given him Dogra Rattan award."
They asked the organizers of Jammu Bandh to look beyond the regional politics and see that the appointment of such an intellectual "par-excellence" would benefit Jammuites, adding that the forum was in favour of a local as Vice Chancellor but when the person like Mattoo us appointed it should welcome the decision of the Government of India.
