Hindu College DU become a Madrassa: Swamy

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi-Amid protests over steep hike in hostel fees for girl students in Hindu College, senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy asked if the institution is turning into a “madrassa” and said he has written to Human Resources Development Minister Prakash Javadekar in this regard.

“I have written a letter to the HRD Minister objecting to Hindu College DU charging as hostel fees triple from girl students! Become a Madrassa?” Swamy tweeted.

The bone of contention with the college affiliated to the Delhi University has been providing on-campus hostel facilities to male students for decades. However, the girls’ hostel, which has been constructed, was supposed to be functional from the 2016-17 session.
