Swamy: Five Reasons Why Sen Should Be Sacked As Chancellor of Nalanda University

            

I demand for four(or five?) reasons that the now retired Professor Amartya Sen be sacked from the Chancellor’s post in the newly set up Nalanda University :

1) Sen though paid an annual salary of Rs.50 lakhs (in US $ tax free)
is normally resident in USA, and comes to India briefly in the winter months
free of charge First Class on Air India. His total emoluments is far in
excess of the service he provides.
 2) The CAG Report on the expenses incurred for building construction
of the University and perquisites of Prof. Sen and others for administering
the University and the delay in meeting easy targets for construction, is
full of irregularities and is, prima facie, of corruption.
 3) The former President of India, Dr.Abdul Kalaam resigned from the
post of Visitor of the University in 2011 in disgust, objecting to Sen’s
arbitrariness and malafide actions.
 4) The nodal Ministry of External Affairs for the University,
objected in writing to Sen’s arbitrarily and opaque manner of appointing as
Vice Chancellor Ms.Gopa Sabharwal, an Assistant Professor. i.e., a junior
lady faculty member, from JNU (or Associate Professor, Sociology, LSR, DU?). Full Professors refused to join under a much
junior-faculty member as Vice Chancellor.
 The CAG in its Report had also objected to the appointment and the salary
fixed for her.
 5) In 2013-14, the Ministry of Finance also objected to the irregular
way Sen was operating the large Special Dispensation Fund of the
University. There was no transparency or accountability of the use of these
funds
 6) So far about Rs.3000 crores of tax payers money has been
recklessly spent by Prof.Sen, for which he has to be made accountable.
 Hence I demand that the Government prosecute Prof. Sen and his chosen few
under the Prevention of Corruption Act, and under IPC Sections 120B, 406 and
420 or face a PIL from me.
