Professor sacked from LPU after making derogatory remarks about Lord Ram
Lovely Professional University has sacked an assistant professor for allegedly using derogatory language against Lord Ram. A purported video of Assistant Professor Gursang Preet Kaur making the comments had surfaced on social media on Saturday, leading to the demand that she be sacked.
The video Gursang Preet Kaur’s presentation during an academic session at the university shows her saying: “Actually Ram is not a good person by heart. Ram is not a good person at all. Ravana is a good person. I find Ram is a cunning person. He made all the plans to trap Sita. He put Sita into trouble and put all the blame on Ravan. How can I decide who is good and evil, and the whole world is worshiping Ram and saying that Ravan is a bad person…”
