IIT Kharagpur has finally suspended Professor Rajeev Kumar. It feels proud to be part of institution like IIT, either as a student or as a professor. Apart from these it takes hell lot of pain/struggle to be a part of it. The question that arises here that when someone being a part of IIT, can be suspended….? And the reason. Laptops. Sounds wired.
Charges against Prof. Kumar:
1. He had alleged that there is mass copying in IIT Kharagpur. (Though he couldn’t prove it, but still if authorities could come n check during exams {sitting arrangements, no. of faculties in the exam hall etc)
2. He made allegations about some wrong doing in the laptop purchase process of the Institute. [Its duty of every citizen to inform about wrong doing of responsible authorities]
Is he being punished for being a True citizen of our Country…?
Where Fakeinstitutes are being run by authorities of IIT Kharagpur and when IIT Kharagpurdirector can be involved in AICTE scam, what is wrong in it to ask question …? If officials state that the action of Professor Rajeev Kumar has lowered the more of IIT Kharagpur, then the above said actions by authorities has bought the same for the institute. Then in that case, if Professor Rajeev Kumar has to be punished, then all the authorities who are involved in any act which brings down the morale of the institute should be suspended.
Intervention of MHRD had stopped purchases of those laptops. But, is this matter so serious that a Professor of premier institution will be suspended? The malicious action of authorities has raised many questions from various corners of the society.
In this era, where every citizen our country is taking pledge to wipeout corruption from grassroots level by protecting independent directors & whistle blowers, or in the form of RTI ….or by Annagiri , where one single person started the protest against corruption and millions joins hands with him. My question is when entire nation is waking up. Why IIT Kharagpur is sleeping…?
Equation is very simple, if Professor Rajeev Kumar is wrong, put up an inquiry, punish him…if he is right , then punish the person who is guilty…..Why punish to such an person, who has served the nation with dedication? Today it’s Professor Rajeev Kumar; tomorrow it will be someone else. The main and sole reason is India is waking up and it will not tolerate this behavior of authorities. One day it will ask questions and authorities have to answer.
Government/Authorities……...Are you listening…?
