CPI(M) flays DU VC's alleged statement on seat increase

New Delhi, May 22 (UNI) Delhi unit of Communist Party of India (Marxist) today condemned Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Deepak Pental for allegedly ruling out the possibility of increasing seats in the varsity for at least the next three years.

The VC's statement reflected the latest tactical posturing of anti-reservationists in the face of the centre's proposal to increase seats in institutes of higher education to protect the interest of general category students while implementing 27 per cent reservation for OBCs, CPI(M) Secretary P M S Grewal said in a statement.

It also represented obfuscation of facts regarding the potential of increasing seats in Delhi University, it added.
