Chennai, August 5(BPNS)

The Viduthalai Chiruthagai Katchi(VCK) has come out strongly against Non-Tamil speaking people applying for the post of Vice-Chancellor in Alagappa University.

VCK leader and Member of Parliament, Dr.Thol Thiruvamavalavan in a statement on Thursday said that a large number of people from outside the state were applying for the post of Vice-Chancellor in Alagappa University.

He said that such a situation has been caused due to Tamil Nadu Governor ignoring the recommendations made by the previous AIADMK government on Vice-Chancellor posts.

The senior leader said that the non- Tamils should not be appointed for the post of Vice-Chancellor of Universities in Tamil Nadu. Only the state government should select the Vice Chancellor and Governor should approve it.

In the statement, the VCK leader called upon the State government to utilize its autonomy to the full.

The Member of Parliament said, “Many people from Uttar Pradesh have applied for the post. Do they know how to read and write Tamil and on what confidence have they applied for the post.”
