Thiruvananthapuram : Education Minister V.. Sivankutty writes to Union Education Ministry seeking action against Kerorimal College Professor, Rakesh Kumar Pandey, over his outrageous allegation of “Mark Jihad’ in Kerala. The minister also wrote to Vice Chancellor of Delhi University seeking action likewise. The professor’s remarks targeting students from Kerala are of communal and racial nature, the letter said.
The view expressed by the professor could potentially nurture hate among the student community. There should be departmental level action with criminal charges against the professor for the incitement, said the minister.
Backdrop : the author of the racially-tinted remark, Rakesh Kumar Pandey, is a professor closely associated with RSS.
