Lucknow: A teacher at the Lucknow University triggered a controversy after he said that the women like Sonam, who allegedly hired killers to murder her husband, and Muskam, who, along with her lover murdered her husband and packed his body in a drum after chopping it, were the ‘product of RSS thought process’.
Ravikant Chandan, a teacher at the Hindi department at the University, made this comment on social media a couple of days back triggering a backlash from the Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and other saffron outfits.
A local ABVP leader has lodged a complaint with the police in this regard, according to the police sources here.
ABVP leader Manjula Upadhyaya decried the remarks and said that they were reflective of a ‘rotten mentality’.
The ABVP leaders demanded strict action against the teacher and earned of agitation if their demand was not met.
Incidentally Chandan was the second teacher of the Varsity who has courted controversy with his remarks.
Earlier Madri Kakoti, a teacher in the linguistics department had stoked a controversy when she reportedly said in a social media post after the "Operation Sindoor" .
"Shooting someone after ascertaining his religion is terrorism.....and lynching someone in the name of religion and bulldozing houses after asking about religion? This is also terrorism", she had said.
Kakoti who was booked under various sections of the BNS, was recently granted anticipatory bail by the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High court.
