Pinarayi alleged that university founder and Chancellor and BJP MP Ashok Kumar Mittal and the management had sought to suppress the protests using the police and “Sangh Parivar goons”.
Former Union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu accused the AAP government in the state of sending miscreants to LPU ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's rally on September 30 in Jalandhar.
LPU has suspended classes for 10 days from Monday and postponed midterm exams after protests demanding action over an alleged rape on campus turned violent.
The BJP MP claimed that the rape was alleged to defame Punjab and the LPU, adding that students, whom he called "sincere and committed", were provoked to join the protest.
