It felt like liberal, private universities would continue to be spaces for academic freedom in circumstances where these are fast-depleting. This breaks my heart. #PratapBhanuMehta

BREAKING: Two days after PB Mehta’s exit, economist Arvind Subramanian also resigns from Ashoka Univ. In his letter to V-C Malabika Sarkar, Subramanian cited circumstances involving Mehta’s exit & the fact Ashoka could not protect academic expression

@VKsharma_ @RifatJawaid @narendramodi In fact,apologies are the sign of the brave. Aggressive chest thumping and ignoring your own mistake in the face of a calamity, is in fact, very weak and selfish.
