Dheeraj Shah retweeted
Delhi: At the 55th Foundation Day & Degree Distribution Ceremony at University College of Medical Sciences and GTB Hospital, Former Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud says, "There is another confession which I have to make. I don't believe that the years of one's life indicate the quality of wisdom in them. India is a young nation, a nation of young people. In the nation of the young that we are, we better have faith in the energy of the young that all of you represent. So, you may fairly ask what a man who spent nearly 45 years in the courtroom could possibly offer a hall full of future healers. Perhaps only this: the view from the other side of the table. In my logbook of life, I have seen and experienced many cycles or seasons, as you may say..."

We welcome Prime Minister @narendramodi jiโ€™s decision to set up fast-track courts to ensure exemplary punishment for those involved in the paper leaks. This thoughtful decision shows that the GoI places youth at the heart of its functioning. In the spirit of harmony and healing, we earnestly request Shri Sonam Wangchuk ji to end his fast in the interest of our students. Our studentsโ€™ future is the future of our nation. @Wangchuk66

The University of Delhi admits students primarily based on the CUET scores, and the standard admission process does not mandate interviews for most undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.If the Leader of Opposition was referring to recruitments (such as faculty positions), the University in the recent past has recruited thousands of teachers across all categories. We strongly object to such comments, as they create a non-conducive environment in the University. The Leader of Opposition should have verified the facts before making such a statement. @EduMinOfIndia
Rahul Gandhi's Statement Sparks Storm โ€œStudents are being failed based on casteโ€ฆโ€ โ€“ Rahul Gandhi cites 'DU student interviews.' @shreyadhoundial shares more updates.
