A group of 181 vice chancellors and academicians from various parts of India have authored an open letter opposing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's recent criticisms of the university head selection process. In their letter, they assert that the selection is based on merit. The controversy stems from Gandhi's remarks suggesting that the selection process is influenced by political affiliations, specifically pointing to the RSS. In response, UP Congress in-charge Avinash Pande and UP Congress President Ajay Rai defended Gandhi's comments, arguing that the appointments are politically motivated rather than based on academic qualifications and experience.
