NIT-Calicut professor who praised Godse for ‘saving India’ appointed as Dean, sparks protest

National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut professor, who was charged last year for praising Nathuram Godse, is appointed as the Dean of the Planning and Development Department. The order issued by the NIT Calicut director states that A Shaija will be working alongside the current Dean, Dr Priya Chandran, until March 7 to facilitate a “smooth changeover”. The decision has drawn sharp criticism from the political parties and DYFI, the youth wing of the CPI(M), has announced a protest march to NIT.
