Mangalore, June 20: Demanding the Education Department to take action against the management of city based St Aloysius College for allegedly harassing students, the activists of Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad on Wednesday staged a demonstration.

The protesters, who gathered in front of the entrance gate of St Aloysius Pre University College holding saffron flags at around 11:00 am, shouted slogans against 'aggressive policies' of the College management.

Addressing the protesters, ABVP State Secretary Ramesh K said that the College has violated the rules and regulations in many cases.

Alleging the College of harassing innocent students for trivial reasons under the pretext of 'maintaining discipline', he said that the College Principal had stopped students from taking part in anti-corruption protest in support of Anna Hazare. “When the patriot students took part in the protest, the Principal identified them on video clippings and took strict action against them”, he said.

He also said that the College did not even hesitate to award an unsatisfactory conduct certificate to one J K Bindu Madav Tilak, who was pursuing his second PUC in academic year 2011-12. “Though he was a good student and used to promptly attend his classes, the College wanted to punish him for being an ABVP activist”, he said.

He demanded that the unsatisfactory conduct certificate given to students must be corrected immediately and students who are suffering without their degree, because of the mistake of the College must be given justice immediately.

He also said that the College ran a fake course without obtaining the permission from the University, charging lakhs of rupees as fees from students and has been denying them their degree.

The demands of the protesters also included that the Autonomous status granted to St Aloysius College by the Mangalore University should be revoked.

"The college started mass communication and media studies (MCMS) and MS software technology courses without obtaining permission from Mangalore University. Future of students who studied these courses is uncertain as the university has not issued degree certificates to them. We request the government to provide justice to those students and withdraw the autonomous status awarded to the college," Ramesh said.

Chikkamagaluru, Jan 28: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Public Works Govind Karjol on Tuesday said that he is ready to quit if the post asks him to do so to pave way for smooth expansion of the Cabinet.

Responding to a question from media persons on the issue here, he said he was ready to quit his post any time.

“If the party asks me to resign now, I will send back my official car and return by bus”, he added.

Further, he opined that there should not be efforts to seek a berth in the Cabinet based on caste.
