Following on from the coordinated attack on the Virendra Dev Dixit and the AIVV, the Delhi High Court directs the PBK and AIVV to remove title University (vishwavidyalaya) from its name?
When next for the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University?
If BKs are behind and supporting the attack, is this not the grossest of their hypocrisies?
Meanwhile, the AIVV goes on the defensive clarifying the "Women are the Gateway to Hell" Shankaracharya reference ... and underlining their support of Brahma Kumaris beliefs and teachings.

Remove word ‘vishwavidyalaya’ from name: Delhi High Court to Rohini ashram
It said the ashram was not a 'vishwavidyalaya' or university as defined under the University Grants Commission Act and it cannot, therefore, continue to represent itself as one.
The Delhi High Court on Thursday directed a Rohini-based institution, where girls and women were allegedly kept in confinement, to immediately remove the word ‘vishwavidyalaya’ from its name. A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar observed that the use of the word ‘vishwavidyalaya’ by the ashram was completely contrary to the law and does not fall in the ambit of UGC norms, reports PTI.
It said the ashram was not a ‘vishwavidyalaya’ or university as defined under the University Grants Commission Act and it cannot, therefore, continue to represent itself as one. The high court also directed the CBI to take all steps available under the law to secure presence of Rohini ashram founder Virender Dev Dixit who has not joined the probe since January.

“In view of the above there is extreme urgency t restrain the usage of word vishwavidyalaya. The ashram i directed to forthwith remove the expression ‘vishwavidyalaya and university,” the bench said.
