PANAJI: BJP students' cell has asked the Goa University to reinstate the panel that were earlier declared winners of the elections of the students
council. The students' cell warned that failing which it would keep all options open in order to get their demands met.
Addressing a press conference , BJP students' cell convenor Atmaram Bharve said they would not hesitate to seek legal recourse and approach the courts. "The director of social welfare has been given all powers to conduct the elections, so why did the registrar intervene? If there are discrepancies in this election, then the elections of the last three years should also be declared as null and void," he said.
Bharve further referred to protests conducted by the student's wing of the Congress on earlier occasions and said that authorities were resorting to double standards. "When they had a protest at the Fine Arts college, they even broke the glass on the principal's table. Nothing was done about that. When we protested in a peaceful manner, the authorities have termed it as unruly behaviour," he added.
"We demand that the earlier status be restored to our panel, where our members have been elected as general secretary and lady representative. We will also meet and decide on our further course of action," Bharve said.
Meanwhile, chairman of Congress' students cell Sunil Kawthankar, , said that their members debated whether they should demand for conduct of early re-elections by the university . "After reaching a consensus , it was decided on letting the university take a call on it due to upcoming examinations on October 7," Kawthankar said.
