In a Facebook post, she wrote, "The recent DU circular constituting a committee to examine alleged teacher absenteeism in DU is a notorious and farcical exercise of the DU administration.

It has also drastically reduced lecture hours per week. All this has adversely affected direct classroom teaching and meaningful instruction”.
