Rajouri varsity teachers start hunger strike against professor’s suspension
Mehbooba raises alarm over suspension, calls for transparency
Jammu: Teaching faculty members of the Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University (BGSBU) in Rajouri district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir have started an indefinite hunger strike, declaring it as ‘fast unto death’, in protest against ‘arbitrary and unjust’ suspension of an Assistant Professor of the varsity.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the university administration issued an order in which Dr Parvez Abdullah, a faculty member of Management Studies in university, was placed under suspension while an inquiry was also ordered against him. Dr Parvez is also the President of university’s teaching association.
In a strongly worded statement, the faculty members of the university, under the banner of the BGSBU Teachers Association (BGSBUTA) condemned the action, calling it an assault on academic freedom and faculty rights. “Dr Parvez Abdullah, a respected academician and a vocal advocate for faculty rights, was suspended under circumstances that the faculty strongly condemn as arbitrary and unjust”, the statement said.
The teachers added that the suspension was aimed at suppressing a potential move by the Association to seek inquiries into recent faculty promotions in the Nursing Department, which they say were made “in gross violation of UGC or Nursing Council norms.”
Initially, the faculty members staged a pen-down strike, paralyzing academic and administrative activities. However, with the university administration refusing to engage in constructive dialogue, the association has now escalated its protest to an indefinite hunger strike until Dr. Abdullah’s suspension is revoked.
The protesting faculty members assert that the suspension of Dr. Abdullah is not just an attack on an individual but a direct assault on academic freedom, faculty rights, and democratic values within the university. They have called for immediate intervention from higher authorities to ensure justice and uphold academic integrity.
Meanwhile, Mehbooba Mufti, President of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), expressed concern about the suspension of Dr. Parvez Abdullah. in a post on X, Mehbooba Mufti wrote, “The suspension of Dr. Parvez Abdullah from Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University has escalated into a major issue with both teaching & non-teaching staff going on an indefinite strike in his support.” “This has become a pressing concern as it is significantly impacting the academic environment and the overall educational system at the university. Moreover many conspiracy theories are making rounds which threaten the very existence of this precious university.” she added.
“The administration must clarify the reasons behind his suspension and make them public. Transparency and accountability are crucial to understand why such action was taken against the assistant professor.” Mehbooba Mufti wrote.
Heya i am for the first time here. I came across this board and
I find It really useful & it helped me out much.
I hope to give something back and aid others like you helped me.
I honestly never believed that my relationship would collapse.
For a long time I built my career, believing that loyalty
and trust were enough. Then to my shock I discovered that my wife had been seeing another man.
What hurt the most was that the guy was wealthy.
I felt betrayed.
The divorce process was brutal. Many evenings felt endless.
Initially I questioned everything. I worried about starting over.
But eventually I learned a valuable lesson: my future depended on me.
Instead of giving up, I became determined to rebuild my life.
I started studying investing. Every day I learned about asset allocation, digital currencies, and financial planning.
Paybis became a key part of my financial journey. What stood out
immediately was the smooth onboarding experience. Handling transactions became surprisingly efficient.
I regularly use Paybis for moving between crypto and fiat.
The transaction flow is smooth. I can review activity while
maintaining control over my assets.
The fintech side fascinated me. Exploring crypto infrastructure gave me a new
perspective on money. I studied market cycles. Gradually I became more strategic with my decisions.
Then something unexpected happened. As my finances improved, I realized that money had never been the real issue.
The missing ingredient was mutual appreciation. Money alone does not
create a healthy relationship.
Things changed when I least expected it. I found a wonderful woman. She was younger than my ex.
The best part was that she was positive and caring.
Today I feel stronger than ever. The pain of the divorce
is behind me. I rebuilt my finances, improved my future, and found happiness.
Looking back, I don’t hold onto bitterness. I respect the journey.
What felt like the end became a new beginning. My financial
journey reminds me how much I have grown. The emotions are incredible—the realization that life can improve dramatically when you refuse to quit.
