NEW DELHI: A demonstration organized by Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad demanding immediate sacking of Delhi University vice-chancellor Dinesh Singh on Friday drew over a hundred students, despite it being held during semester break.Following news of a show-cause notice served on Singh by MHRD, the student body demanded that, apart from removing Singh, other officials who are in the administration should be held accountable for "corruption" and "misgovernance" in the university.Students gathered in front of the gate of Arts Faculty in North Campus in the afternoon and started sloganeering against the DU administration. "We are demanding his immediate removal. If he has any conscience, he should in fact resign. Going by the magnitude of misgovernance and corruption this administration has practised, we want MHRD to institute criminal proceedings against the vice-chancellor," ABVP Delhi secretary Saket Bahuguna said.The students held the core team of DU administration as being equally responsible for "financial irregularities". "The diversion of OBC funds, FYUP-related corruption and misuse of university funds in Antardhwani should be investigated. All other officials should also be punished. Otherwise, after this VC leaves, these officials will continue to do damage," said Bahuguna.ABVP is likely to make a representation to human resource development minister Smriti Irani on Saturday, demanding criminal proceeding against the DU administration.
