BJD has demanded an apology from BJP MLA Prakash Sethi for his remarks, deepening the controversy at Ravenshaw University, OTV reports. The party alleges Sethi's comments violated the dignity of the institution and has called for action.
Meanwhile, the Vice Chancellor has said the dispute will be resolved soon. The university has been embroiled in allegations of mismanagement and political interference, leading to protests and a stalemate in academic activities.
The VC's promise of a swift resolution and the BJD's demand for an apology both risk reducing a complex institutional crisis to a political spat. The real issues of governance, academic freedom, and student welfare at Ravenshaw remain sidelined. Whether Sethi actually apologises or the dispute fades away will tell if either side is serious about the university's future.
