Proposal to honour Brown opposed

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: The Democratic Teachers’ Front has taken “strong exception” to the manner in which Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Deepak Pental conducted Tuesday’s meeting of the University Court in connection with the proposal to honour British Prime Minister Gordon Brown when he arrives here on a State visit.

DTF has been opposing the proposal to felicitate Mr. Brown with a doctorate because of his “participation in the Iraq war”.

“So eager was Prof. Pental to confer an honorary degree on Mr. Brown that when he found that only 15-odd members of the about 280 members present raised their hands in support of his proposal, he refused to count the votes against it,” alleged DTF president Sanjaya Kumar Bohidar.
