Nishad case: human rights panel urged to intervene

By Our Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, JUNE 30. The KSU activist, Mr. A. Nishad, who was allegedly manhandled by a group of SFI activists at the University College in November last year, has appealed to the State Human Rights Commission to take action against the "injustice" meted out to him by the Kerala University authorities.

Addressing a press conference here today, Mr. Nishad, who was the general secretary of the Nilamel NSS College Union, said he had not received the marklist of the B.A. (History) examination conducted this year. At the same time, Rajesh, the prime accused in the case, and studying for B.Sc. (Biochemistry) in the same college, had received the marklist, he alleged.

Mr. Nishad alleged that the university authorities were adopting an "irresponsible" attitude towards the issue. Though the principal of the Nilamel NSS College had forwarded the application for condonation of attendance for Nishad and Rajesh in the same form, he said the university authorities had not issued his marklist stating that they had not received his application. This was when the principal had received an acknowledgement for receipt of the application from the university, he alleged.

Mr. Nishad also appealed to the Human Rights Commission to issue orders for reopening the admission procedure for the P. G course so as to enable him to get admission for the same.
