In a dramatic twist to the Jadavpur University student unrest, the father of the girl who was allegedly sexually harassed inside the university campus today said there was no need for the VC to resign and students should call off their agitation as the state has formed a probe committee.
The agitating students, however, remained defiant and vowed to continued their class boycott and protest.
TMCP, the Trinamool Congress student's wing, and the YUVA took out a rally in the city today in an effort to deliver a response to last Saturday's massive demonstration by students, alleging that it was all a game plan of the Left and the Maoists to malign the state government.
The father of the victim, who met Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during the day, said that the students should call off their boycott and there was no need for the VC to resign as the state government has assured an impartial probe into the incident. "I met the chief minister and she assured me that justice will be done to my daughter," the father of the girl, who also took part in today's rally, said.
He had last Friday held the V-C responsible for the impasse in the university. Education minister Partha Chatterjee and the TMCP state president Sankudeb Panda visited the victim's house yesterday.
Chatterjee announced a five-member committee headed by Calcutta University V-C Suranjan Das to investigate into the alleged sexual harassment of a girl student. "The committee will try to submit its report as soon as possible. It has been asked to submit report within 72 hours, if possible" the minister said.
The university authorities appealed to the students who remained adamant on their class boycott till the VC resigned, to maintain normalcy and resume classes. "We have given a notice to all departments of the university, annexing the high court order. We appeal to all to maintain normalcy," JU registrar Pradip Ghosh told newspersons here.
The registrar said he would request the police authorities to see that the students, who were arrested, were not affected. "We want that their careers are not affected."
