Three departments of the Haryana’s Ashoka University— Economics, English, and Creative Writing—on Wednesday threatened to stop classes until assistant professor Sabyasachi Das is reinstated, Scroll.in reported. 

Economist Das resigned last week after his research paper implying that the BJP manipulated results in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls kicked up a political storm. In an open letter, the Department of Economics noted that the “hasty” acceptance of Das’s resignation “has deeply ruptured the faith” in the university.
