LUCKNOW: The Vice-Chancellor of Purvanchal University named Raja Ram Yadav has come under controversy after making remarks that seemed to encourage students to get into fights and even commit murders.
The Vice-Chancellor at a college function in Ghazipur on Saturday, said, “If you’re a student of this University, never come crying to me. If you ever get into a fight, beat them, if possible murder them, we’ll take care of it later”.

The UP minister Siddharth Nath Singh said, “It was wrong, he can’t make such comments. He should teach students the way of peace but he’s doing ‘gunda raj’. A vice-chancellor of such mentality has no right to stay in his position. I hope Deputy Chief Minister will take appropriate action.”
UP Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma, who also holds the higher education portfolio stated that “I have asked the vice-chancellor to give his version of the story.”
National Conference chief Omar Abdullah took on Twitter and tweeted,
Get in to a fight, commit a murder as a result and this university VC will take care of things. This is what passes for an education in some places these days. Not surprisingly the audience even applauds his assertion. https://t.co/E8tI097uzN

He was a professor of the Allahabad University and was appointed the vice-chancellor of Purvanchal University. Earlier in October this year, he faced criticisms of saffronisation after a Ram Katha was organised inside the university premises.
