New Delhi, October 19

The JNUSU on Friday accused JNU's Dean of School of Social Sciences of ridiculing and insulting a few assistant professors during an orientation session.

Pradipta Chaudhary, the dean, denied the allegations and said the JNUSU is spreading lies.

The JNUSU said, Chaudhary was taking orientation of assistant professors from different parts of the country at the Academic Staff College. His lecture was on Caste, Class and Public Policy in India. In the course of his lecture, he made a comment on caste, that was contested by one of the participants, who requested for an answer. Out of anger, Chaudhary shouted at the person, told him to stay quiet or leave the room and he "went on". Earlier, he ridicued one professor’s English.— PTI
