A delegation of Congress workers led by Varanasi city unit president Raghavendra Chaubey on Tuesday submitted a memorandum to the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) chief proctor demanding that the executive council of the varsity should be constituted at the earliest.

Party city unit president Chaubey said that as per prior appointment, the Congress delegation reached the central office, BHU to meet vice chancellor Prof Sudhir Jain. The VC, however, refused to meet the delegation without any information following which the Congress leaders submitted the letter to BHU chief proctor Prof Shiv Prakash Singh.
Chaubey said that the executive council has not been formed in the BHU for a long time due to which various works suffer. Therefore, positive action should be taken immediately to form the executive council of the university.

Chaubey said that the Congress delegation demanded that the notice given to the teachers and employees for supporting the movement of Prof Om Shankar should be withdrawn immediately.
