AC MEMBERS CRITICIZING THE NAMES PROPOSED FOR DELHI COLLEGES
Many AC members of Delhi University are criticizing the names. According to Rajesh Jha, “DU administration has kept the Academic Council in the dark when they were discussing Four-year undergraduate program, then only this nomenclature proposal came before the council and passed without any debate.”
“We are waiting for the executive council meeting so that we can oppose this approval”, he added.

However, the DU vice-chancellor, P.C Joshi confirmed all these names. In clarification, he said “VD Savarkar was a prominent freedom fighter. If you go to Andaman and Nicobar, the jail in which he was kept is still there.”
The question was also raised on the approved names of BJP leaders. Again Joshi justified that all the decisions have been taken by considering their contribution to society.
