JU in fix over inclusion of tainted official in Cricket team

: The controversy over the inclusion of suspended official in the playing XI of Jammu University for All India Vice Chancellor's T-20 Cricket Cup Tournament-2012 has refused to die down. On other hand, the University authorities were issuing vague statements to justify the inclusion of tainted official in the team.

AEE Akash Bholla, who is presently under suspension on charges of corruption, has been allowed to play in the ongoing All India Vice Chancellor’s T-20 Cricket Cup Tournament – 2012. The students of the University are up in arms against the inclusion of Bhola in the playing XI terming the step as abetment to corruption.

On one side Prof. Dhian Singh Bhau, Director, Sports and Physical Education as well as Organizing Secretary of the tournament issued a statement refuting charges of favouritism to Akash Bholla and justified his inclusion. But on other side, Registrar Prof Naresh Padha said deliberations were being held with the Vice Chancellor to take final call on Bhola's inclusion in the team. He said, "Thorough discussion is being held keeping all the pros and cons on the issue. The prestige of University is foremost and if necessitated Bhola will be withdrawn from the team."

Pertinent to mention here that the JU administration has made selection of an alleged tainted official Akash bhola against whom the investigation is being held by Vigilance Organization. Interestingly, the Vice Chancellor Dr M P S Ishar had himself referred the matter to the Vigilance.
