Complaint against Mysuru University professor for abusing Modi, Smriti Irani

Bengaluru: A complaint has been lodged against Maheshchandra Guru, Professor, Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, Mysuru University, for allegedly using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, HRD minister Smriti Irani and former Prime Minister late Jawaharlal Nehru.

The complaint was lodged with Bengaluru city police commissioner, N.S. Megharikh by Dr Chi.Na. Ramu, National President of All India Dr Ambedkar Prachara Samithi. Mr. Ramu urged the police commissioner to take action against Mr Guru and ensure his service was terminated. The state BJP has backed Mr Ramu’s decision to file the complaint against Mr. Guru. According to the complainant, Mr Guru is the most controversial professor in Mysuru University who had described Ms Smriti Irani as a ‘third rated actress’. His abusive language against the PM is uncalled for, the complaint said.

During a programme organized by the SC student union of Mysuru University to pay homage to Rohith Vemula, a student of Hyderabad Central University who committed suicide recently, Mr Guru had used abusive language against the PM and the HRD minister. He was suspended by Mysuru University for violating the conduct rules. He had also allegedly used abusive language against Mysuru University Professor Rangappa.
