Political Activities Within Campuses, Legal Notice Issued to Govt

KOCHI:
There are any number of “land mark” judgments from the High Court of Kerala and even from the Supreme Court that the sanctity of educational institutions should not get vitiated by political activities of students and that it is the responsibility of the Principals to maintain discipline and decorum within the campuses.

And yet, campus politics is being encouraged by politicians and even by Govt. leading to disruption of classes, student clashes, criminal activities such as murders, stabbing incidents etc. Unfortunately, some teachers with political leaning give mute support to such activities, said Foundation for Restoration of National Values.

Coming to know from the media that Kerala Cabinet has taken a decision to bring in a law to permit political activities within campuses, “Foundation for Restoration of National Values” (FRNV), an NGO fully committed to instill values, ethics and good behaviour among the young generation, and whose Founder President is Dr.E.Sreedharan, has served a legal notice on the Chief Minister and Chief Secretary of the State advising them not to take any ill-advised steps which will destroy campus discipline. FRNV has threatened to resort to legal remedies if Govt. decides to proceed further. All right thinking citizens and parents should support the stand of FRNV.
