CPI(M) Andhra Pradesh State Committee had said it would protest against allotment of over 200 acres of land to Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to the Central University on October 19th. Prime Minister is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for the TIFR campus.
A section of faculty members and students of the university have objected to the allotment of over 200 acres of the university land to the TIFR and the CPI(M) has supported their contention. "We urge the Prime Minister to cancel his programme to lay the foundation stone of the TIFR campus. If he comes here, people would see what would happen" CPI(M) leader and MP comrade P Madhu told reporters.
CPI(M) State Secretary B V Raghvulu had earlier written a letter to the Prime Minister to cancel his programme to lay the foundation for TIFR campus as the students and academic staff had reservations over the land allotment.
Leaders of Communist Party of India (CPI) and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), in a joint letter to the prime minister, appealed to him to cancel his proposed programme as it could be used by an “unscrupulous” administration to sanctify its “selfish” and “unreasonable land deals”. CPI leader K. Narayana said there were proposals to allot 1,000 acres more to institutions and Singh’s foundation stone laying for TIFR would enable the university to clear them.
