Kerala chief minister VD Satheesan has denounced the participation of three vice-chancellors of universities at a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) event addressed by its chief Mohan Bhagwat.
The CM termed it a 'grave lapse' and unbecoming of the state's educational traditions.
The three VCs who attended the event are Kerala University of Health Sciences V-C Mohanan Kunnummal, Mahatma Gandhi University VC-in-charge Mavoothu D and Thunchath Ezhuthachan Malayalam University VC-in-charge CR Prasad.
The CM has called for the VCs to apologise to the people of Kerala for their actions.
Leader of the opposition Pinarayi Vijayan stated that secular Kerala views the participation of the VCs at the RSS centenary event with utmost seriousness.
Meanwhile, BJP state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar has criticised the CM for condemning the three vice chancellors in Kerala who attended the RSS event.
