Is raised. The Governor said that the Supreme Court has laid down that if the state law is contrary to the UGC rules, then the UGC rules will prevail. Laws cannot be made in the state against the rules of UGC.
Khan told reporters that the UGC rules have been made keeping in mind the fact that governors are ex-officio chancellors of universities. The governor said that anything...any provision, whatever bill they pass if it is against the UGC rules, it cannot become law. He alleged that the government is taking such a step because they are completely disappointed and desperate. Khan said that if anyone tries to tamper with the rules of that system.. that would be against the UGC rules. So, don't you worry about these things? They are taking out their frustration. They are feeling dejected.
