New Delhi, Feb 04: The government today came under heavy criticism in the Rajya Sabha over the issue of alleged interference in the functioning of institutions of higher education by interpreting a court order. The matter was raised during special mention by Nilotpal Basu (CPM) who charged the human resource development ministry with trying to interfere in the admission process of various institutions including the Aligarh Muslim University, IIMs and IITs and Kendriya Vidyalayas thereby diluting their autonomy by interpreting a court order.
This was objected to by BJP members who insisted that there was no interpretation of any court order.
Basu demanded an explanation from the government. Bureau Report
