University Professor Thrashed For Facebook Post Against AB Vajpayee

A day has passed since the former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has bid farewell to the world.

And a man has posted a critical message against the beloved Prime Minister which led him to the hospital doorstep.

The Mahatma Gandhi University professor was allegedly thrashed by an angry mob on Friday afternoon for a comment criticising former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

The professor was attacked and dragged down from his flat, situated on the third floor. The attackers also attempted to burn him alive.

Reportedly, his comment on a critical post against the late BJP Veteran read, “Fascivad ke ek Yug ki samapti. Atal ji anant yatra par nikle (End to an era of fascism. Atalji embarks on a journey to eternity).”

The professor was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital and later was referred to Patna’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for advanced medical treatment.

Speaking to the media, the victim, however, claimed that he was not only attacked for commenting on the post criticising Vajpayee, and but also for raising his voice against his university’s Vice Chancellor’s (VC) decisions in the past.

“The people, who attacked me were all backed by the present VC. I also received a threat call from the attackers, who warned me to not protest against the VC,” he added.

A face-off between the VC and the professors started on May 29, after scores of teachers sat on dharna, protesting the decisions taken by the university administration pertaining to reservation and appointment of new faculty members.
