Concerned over the JNU row, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Monday said the government should not interfere much in the functioning of universities and that such educational institutions should be treated as autonomous.
“My personal view is that we shouldn’t have too much government interference in universities. Even as minister, I felt our education system is over-regulated and under-governed,” Mr Tharoor told PTI on the sidelines of “Make in India Week” here.
“We should leave universities as autonomous places,” he said, adding that as a minister he would not have written to the vice-chancellor about matters related to disciplining or punishments.
