सिक्किम विश्वविद्यालयले गोर्खा जातिको मातृभाषा लाई विदेशी भाषा भने विद्यार्थीको भर्ना रद्द गर्‍यो

गान्तोक, २१ अगस्ट २०२५: सिक्किम विश्वविद्यालयले पहिलो सेमेष्टरका वाणिज्य विभागका विद्यार्थी श्री राज शेखर यादवको अस्थायी भर्ना गम्भीर अनुशासनहीनता र आचरण उल्लंघन गरेको भन्दै रद्द गरेको छ।

अधिकृत आदेश (अफिस अर्डर नं. २३१/२०२५) अनुसार यो कारबाही वाणिज्य शाखाका प्राध्यापकहरू र सिक्किम विश्वविद्यालय विद्यार्थी संघ (SUSA) द्वारा दर्ता गरिएको उजुरीपछि गरिएको हो। ओर्डिनन्स OC-12 अन्तर्गत गठन गरिएको अनुशासन समिति (Disciplinary Committee) ले उजुरीमा छानबिन गरेको थियो। समितिको प्रतिवेदनले यादवलाई अनुशासनहीन र विश्वविद्यालयको आचारसंहिता उल्लंघन गरेको ठहर गर्‍यो। उनले १४ देखि १६ अगस्ट २०२५ को बीचमा विभागीय ह्वाट्सएप समूहमा आपत्तिजनक, अश्लील , आपत्तिजनक र अपमानसूचक सामग्रीहरू पोष्ट गरेर राष्ट्रिय अवसरहरू (स्वतन्त्रता दिवसको उत्सव) प्रति अनादर देखाएको र भारतीय गोर्खा हरुको मातृभाषा संविधान द्वारा स्वीकृति प्राप्त नेपाली भाषालाई तथा गोर्खा जाति प्रति असम्मान प्रकट गरेको आरोप लागेको थियो

अनुसन्धान समितिको सिफारिसको आधारमा, कुलपतिले सिक्किम विश्वविद्यालय ऐनको धारा २९ (४) र ओर्डिनन्स OC-12 अन्तर्गत प्रदान गरिएको अधिकार प्रयोग गरी यादवको भर्ना तत्काल प्रभावबाट रद्द गरेका छन। प्रो. लक्षुमान शर्मा, रजिष्ट्रार (कार्यवाहक) द्वारा हस्ताक्षरित उक्त आधिकारिक आदेश विश्वविद्यालयका सम्बन्धित विभागहरू रजिष्ट्रार, वित्त अधिकृत, परीक्षाका नियन्त्रक, सबै अध्ययन संकायका डीनहरू, तथा विद्यार्थी कल्याणमा पठाइएको छ। यो अनुशासनात्मक कारबाहीले विश्वविद्यालयले आफ्नो आचारसंहिता पालनामा कठोर प्रतिबद्धता राखेको र सांस्कृतिक तथा राष्ट्रिय मूल्यप्रति सम्मानलाई प्राथमिकता दिने दृष्टिकोणलाई झल्काएको छ।
