Professor's 'concession' to criticize Rahul Gandhi

Mumbai, Jan 16, 2020, Thursday

A professor who criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's statement about Veer Savarkar was sacked over the mandatory leave.

Professor Yogesh Soman, the head of the University of Mumbai's Academy of Theater Arts, was put on compulsory leave by the university. At present, the Shiv Sena, NCP and the Congress government in Maharashtra did not suffer the criticism of Professor Som from the ruling party.

In reference to Rahul Gandhi's statement about Veer Savarkar, Professor Som wrote on Facebook that you are not Savarkar but you are not true Gandhi ... you have no significant values ​​..

Following the statement on Professor Soman's Facebook, the All India Student Council and the Left Student Union All India Students Federation launched an anti-Professorship campaign. He described Professor Soman as a supporter and political activist of the RSS and threatened to end the agitation against him.

The University of Mumbai has dismissed Professor Soman on compulsory leave.
