The recent appointment of Dr. A. Shaija as Dean at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut has sparked significant controversy. Dr. Shaija, a professor in the Electrical Engineering Department, had previously expressed admiration for Nathuram Godse, Mahatma Gandhi's assassin, on social media. On Gandhi's death anniversary, she posted a message stating she was "proud of Godse for the act," which has drawn sharp criticism from various quarters, including the Congress party. The party has demanded her immediate removal, arguing that her views are incompatible with the values upheld by an educational institution. NIT Calicut has yet to issue an official response regarding the matter.
