West Bengal Guv Jagdeep Dhankhar's car blocked at Jadavpur University

Kolkata/IBNS: West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar's car was blocked by several Trinamool Congress (TMC) members at Jadavpur University here on Tuesday.

"Go Back" slogans were raised as Dhankhar was confined to his car.

The Governor went to the university to attend the convocation ceremony.

Several students, who are at the loggerhead with the Governor over the new citizenship law, have said they won't accept their degrees from Dhankhar.

Sitting inside the car, Dhankhar tweeted, "At Jadavpur University so that the students may get their degrees and enjoy the fruits of their labour and contribute to society. Unfortunately the way to the venue in the University is blocked. Unwholesome. No affirmative role by concerned in sight. Worrisome situation."

"The number of those obstructing is only around fifty. System being held hostage and those enjoined with the task are oblivious of their obligations. A collapse that can only lead to unwholesome consequences. Rule of law is no where in sight. As constitutional head concerned."

"Media in such situations need to focus on public welfare as well and signal that student interests can’t be so put in jeopardy."
