Allahabad varsity V-C alleges interference, threatens to leave with associates

“This is a central university and used to be called the Oxford of the East in the past. There can be no possibility of the institution regaining its lost glory if political interference continues,” Allahabad University VC, R L Hangloo, who recently drew flak from BJP leaders over his handling of a students’ agitation, told reporters here.

He alleged that many politicians belonging to Congress, BJP, SP and AVBP, were involved in the university affairs and the varsity will not grow if politicians interfere.
