This is such a shame. Tezpur University Authorities should bow their heads in shame.
Students are protesting to announce closure as the state mourns the death of Zubeen Garg.
Roads are deserted. People across the nation were shocked when they saw the sea of people around Zubeen today.
@himantabiswa@ranojpeguassam Kindly see how the institutions are deferring the orders during a state mourning. This is shameful.
Assam: Vice Chancellor of Tezpur University, Shambhu Nath Singh makes a bizarre statement on the students protesting to demand a tribute and mourning for Zubeen Garg.
“Don’t make things funny,” he said to the students.
Such an insensitive comment at the time when the entire state is grieving.
The entire state stood standstill. Nobody called for a Bandh. People chose for themselves.
At least, when the state is mourning, have the courtesy to follow and tribute the icon.

SHOCKING: Tezpur University VC publishes fake news, says students physically assaulted him.
Video-1: He can be seen running away after he denied to apologise for the insult on Zubeen.
Video-2: Students clarify.
Denying to close classes, failure to tribute. Students were upset with the stand of the University when the entire state has been mourning.
@himantabiswa@ranojpeguassam, situation in Tezpur University is very sad and dangerous. A VC resorting to blaming the students for the uproar against his disrespect to Zubeen is shameful.
