JNU suspends MoU with Turkey’s Inonu University
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi has suspended a memorandum of understanding with Turkey’s Inonu University. In a social media post, JNU said that the decision was taken in view of national security considerations.
Under the MoU, there were plans for faculty and student exchange programmes, among other initiatives.
Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Vice-Chancellor (VC) Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit on Thursday said that the central university has suspended a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Turkiye's Inonu University, given the concerns over national security, adding that the administration decided not to have relations with a country that "supports terror and stabs India in the back".
"We have 98 MoUs with different countries. JNU teaches the Turkish language. The administration thought that we shouldn't have any relation with the country that supports terror and stabs India in the back. This is why I thought that it was important for us to stand with the Indian armed forces," JNU VC Pandit told ANI.
"Every civilian citizen is responsible for our national security...JNU is totally subsidised by the Indian taxpayer. Where should our loyalty lie? To the Indian state. The present chiefs of the armed and naval staff are JNU alumni. We salute them. JNU is always for the nation and our armed forces," she added.
