Suspension wrong: Lalu

Hajipur: Though many did not appreciate his love affair with his student for which the Patna University put him under suspension, Matuk Nath Chaudhary, a professor of Hindi, on Sunday found a sympathiser in RJD president and Railway Minister Lalu Prasad who objected to his suspension.

``His (Matuk Nath Chaudhary) suspension is wrong,'' Prasad told reporters in reply to a question. Prasad said his suspension would affect the lives of the two women (the professor's wife Abha Thakur and his paramour Julie).

Asked if he approved of the activities of the professor, who had openly admitted to his relationship with Julie without divorcing his wife, Prasad said, ``Many people do such things.''

On Saturday, Patna University Vice-Chancellor S Ehtashamuddin suspended the professor, whose face was blackened and whose paramour Julie was beaten up by his wife at Sultanganj police station here on July 7. - PTI.
