Editorial Perspectives

  • A Muslim professor couldn’t stand praise of the ‘Surgical Strike’ which says it all. Such professors with hatred about India are spoiling the next generation; therefore, stringent action needs to be taken against them.
  • Will the dismissal of six months of the professor stop her from spreading hatred about India ? If similar things happen after six months, will the University management and Haryana Human Rights Commission take the responsibility ?
