Hyderabad, May 6 (Maxim News): The Congress party on Monday accused NALSAR University of Law of blatant and deliberate violation of law by denying 85% quota for students of Telangana and no reservation for Backward Classes.
“NALSAR University was providing reservations to only 20% of the total number of seats in the undergraduate program for the ‘Local Candidates’ as against the statutory requirement of 85%. Further, It does not provide any reservations to BC students, while as per the laws of State of Telangana, BC students are entitled for 29% of reservations,” AICC National spokesperson Dr Sravan Dasoju said while addressing a press conference at AICC Headquarters in New Delhi today. He also released a copy of an open letter he has written to Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao alleging of gross injustice being done to the students of Telangana in general and BC students in particular due to non-implementation of reservations in admissions by NALSAR University of Law.
Sravan said that the NALSAR was receiving around Rs. 3.5 Cr to Rs. 4 Cr annual funding from the Government of Telangana and being a State University, it is bound to implement the reservations complying to laws of Telangana. “The NALSAR may have academic autonomy, but certainly there is no administrative autonomy to violate law of land,” he said while demanding that the Chief Minister issue orders for implementation of rule of reservation to BC students and to implement the article 371-D and subsequent the Presidential Order providing reservation of 85% of the available seats to local students of Telangana.
The Congress leader pointed out as the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is scheduled on May 26, the Chief Minister must ensure urgent intervention so that 85% of local students of Telangana and 29% of BC students get the benefit. Nearly 2.5 lakh students are appearing for the CLAT. (Maxim News)
