    Digital Desk: Cotton University, Guwahati, witnessed a dramatic turn of events as the General Secretary of the Cotton University Students' Union (CUSU), Javed Akhtar, officially joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday. The move has stirred controversy, leading to Akhtar facing a ban from the RKB Hostel, where he previously garnered support during elections.

    Tensions escalated when CUSU President Himanshu Kumar Das accused Akhtar of involvement in women scams and alleged that he collected money under the guise of admission procedures.

    The student community of Cotton has not been able to take lightly the issue of political parties amid the tenure of the students' union. Other office-bearers of Cotton University's student unity meeting have also strongly condemned the act, sources reveal.

    The official joining of Javed Akhtar into the BJP took place at the Jorhat district office, marking a notable shift in his political affiliation. The development has sparked discussions and concerns within the university community.

    RKB Hostel's decision to ban Akhtar reflects the division among students, and the situation remains fluid as reactions unfold. The accusations against Akhtar add another layer of complexity to the controversy, bringing attention to both his political alignment and the allegations of financial impropriety.

    As the story unfolds, Cotton University finds itself at the centre of a political storm, with students and faculty closely monitoring the situation. The impact of Javed Akhtar's political transition on campus dynamics remains uncertain, and further developments are expected to shape the narrative in the coming days.
