IIT Delhi director quits over demand for Subramanian Swamy's salary dues

New Delhi, Dec 28 (Agencies): Director of IIT Delhi, Raghunath K Shevgaonkar, who was under pressure to provide IIT ground for Sachin Tendulkar's cricket academy and clear BJP party member Subramanian Swamy's salary dues, has reportedly put down the papers.

According to The Times of India, the IIT director had opposed a cricket academy in the premises of the Indian Institute of Technology. He wanted the campus for students and staff alone.

Moreover, he was under pressure to pay a sum of Rs. 70 lakhs as salary due between 1972 and 1991 to BJP member Subramanian Swamy, a former IIT Delhi faculty. IIT had terminated Swamy's services in 1972 and reinstated him after a court order in 1991.

The IIT and the HRD ministry had rejected Subramanian's demands earlier. But after the Modi Government came into power, the HRD Ministry had reportedly changed its stance and favoured an early settlement.

    IIT ground to Sachin Tedulkar's Cricket Academy may be a right decision if it comes on the way of utilizing the ground to the students.With regard to Subramanyaswamy's salary payment, the decision to be taken on the ground of termination conditions of his services.

    DECEMBER 25, 2014 CIA’S UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO GIVE BHARAT RATNA TO ITS AGENT VAJPAYEE

    After reports appeared that Atal Behari Vajpayee will be given the Bharat Ratna on December 25, 2014 along with Madan Mohan Malaviya, I sent press releases saying

    “BHARAT RATNA TO VAJPAYEE??

    VAJPAYEE ‘WITHDREW’ AS BJP’S PRIME MINISTERIAL CANDIDATE IN 2004 BECAUSE OF MY DISCLOSURES THAT HE WAS A LIFE-LONG AGENT FIRST OF THE BRITISH, THEN THE CIA AND THE CIA STAGED KARGIL WAR TO MAKE HIM WIN THE ELECTION THAT WAS PENDING AFTER HE HAD LOST A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE SEE MY BLOG SatishChandraLettersToPressDOTblogspotDOTcom

    Satish Chandra”

    First CIA-RAW made my press releases disappear, even from my E- Mail’s Inbox but I resent it. When it saw that a Bharat-Ratna for Vajpayee will not be allowed, it made Modi’s activities for the day part of the Swacch Barat campign.

    Is this good governance CIA deciding who gets Bharat Ratnas and suppressing the greatest Indian of all time for the past 4 decades? The cleanliness India needs is throwing out its CIA-appointed prime ministers all of whom have been working for the CIA.

    anyways, Swmay has said, he will gotot court if required and can demand 50cr as compensation, because amartya sen called him as IIT faculty and then gave him a reader postion as against his well paying job harvard.. later when he criticised economic policies of Indira, he was kciked out! as luck would have it, he entered politics and thwarted Indira! :D

    he has also claimed, he will file for a defamation of 1cr on media houses, like navbharat times, if they dont tender an apology!

    btw, let us not run away from the main issue.. IITs have enough land and they are hardly utilised compared to the student strength! Why faculties need to stay in the campus, with thieir family? I have been associated with IITs on few programs, and their teachers hardly encourage any stundent visitng their house, on non business hours!.. let them stay outside, pay them HRA, and accomodate more students in campus! anyways, they take creme of creme students, who will run away after their studies,.!

    It may be true that there may be land unutilised but that is no reason to put up a cricket academy. Why not dancing academy, fashion institute and a beauty parlour. There are enough places to put these trivial non academic centres. IIT has a theme and let us leave it a lone.

    first know the story, of swamy and IIT and the law suit! ... he was unceremonioulsy sacked and never let teaching there... he went against the suspension, got it revoked via SC and joined the duty just for a day and resigned next day! ... technically he need to be paid for that! its court order! but it is Congress who played its game, cos he was exposing the mainos!!... I am sure, Swamy will go to court again and get it reimbursed... and Govt is not at fault as HRD as already given go ahead... its IIT management which has to decide... but he seems to be a congress stooge!

    Jeevan,
    What was legal luminary of par excellence like Dr Subramanya Swamy doing all these days, i.e., since 1991.
    The honorable court order ruled to re-instate him as professor of IIT & no where the petition was sought for compensation.
    Please read the detailed news else where the news available in the public domain, in fact the high court rejected his plea for salary arrears. In fact it is a totally different & separate contentious issue to address either by the IIT management or HRD ministry or by the Honorable Court.

    well, he would wait for few more years, until somebody writes him in letterpad that " we will not give you the dues"!

    here the IIT direcotor quit... but he has two inquiries going on his name, is what made him step down!.. truth is hidden.. he had given permission to start BHAICHUNG BHUTIA academy in IIT delhi, and when askled about it, he had no answer! BhaICHUING was Mamat di's candidate FYI

    he was also planning to create a International institue of technoolgy (Delhi)- In mauritius!... and he will eb an adviser there... this project was cleared by Deepender singh Hooda, who was IIT council member!..

    More skeletons are stumblking and he decided to quit...!! Swamy never asked for his dues ... he will get every single penny of it, which he is entitled to! :)

    spreading falsehood is your daily break.. feku frustrations! vhe vhe vhe
