The IIPM chairman, Arindam Chaudhuri, has bounced back and lashed out at UGC and AICTE on Twitter by saying ‘the standard of education they have created in the nation is shameful’.
The UGC which has frequently warned students that IIPM’s courses are not recognised by statutory authorities, irritated Arindam Chaudhuri. “As far as satiresites are concerned, I neither have any objections on any non-defamatory satire, nor would I have filed anything against them were I to do the same personally. In a democracy, satire is basic freedom of speech. However, I am glad that defamatory links that had been put up with a malicious intent have been ordered to be removed, as should be the case in any functional democracy,” said furious Chaudhuri.
“With respect to UGC links, I should say UGC and AICTE are organizations full of bribe-seeking corrupt officials where, even at the top, they have a track record of being caught red-handed and being jailed. The standard of education they have created in the nation is shameful, to say the least. IIPM is proud to have no affiliation with them and proud that it imparts a quality of education that is at par with the best globally, which is, might I say, thanks to our independence of approach and non-caring attitude towards UGC”, he added.
A Gwalior court has ordered government to block 73 URLs which are featuring ‘defamatory’ articles about IIPM and its chairman Arindam Chaudhuri.
