NEW DELHI: The BJP on Monday hit out at Kerala Chief Minister V D Satheesan for criticising three vice-chancellors who attended an RSS centenary event addressed by Mohan Bhagwat, accusing the Congress of hypocrisy and double standards.
The remarks came after Satheesan criticised the participation of the Vice Chancellors of Kerala University, Mahatma Gandhi University and Malayalam University in the RSS centenary programme in Thiruvananthapuram on Saturday, demanding that they apologise to the people of Kerala.
BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said the Congress has objected to vice-chancellors attending an event of a “nationalist organisation” while continuing to take support from groups such as the Muslim League, Jamaat and SDPI.
