Students at the Sanskrit Vidya Dharma Vigyan (SVDV) of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) had been protesting against appointment of Dr Feroz Khan as an Assistant Professor on the grounds that he would not be able to teach 'karam kand' (rituals) since he was a non-Hindu.
The BHU administration had maintained all along that Khan's appointment was according to rules set by University Grants Commission (UGC) and there was no question of removing him.
The issue had turned into a major controversy with political leaders and even seers taking sides on the issue.
