A former president of the Delhi University Teachers’ Association has allegedly received threatening calls for having signed a letter condemning Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent remarks on Rajiv Gandhi.
Professor Aditya Narayan Misra was among 200-odd professors from DU who signed the letter that was tweeted out by Congress leader Sam Pitroda on Tuesday. It was also signed by other former presidents of DUTA.
Mr. Misra has filed a complaint at the Maurice Nagar police station. He said that the callers “threatened to end my life, used abusive language and asked me to withdraw my signature. An FIR is yet to be lodged as the police are looking into the matter.
