New Delhi: Nobel laureate Amartya Sen has withdrawn his candidature for a second term as Nalanda University Chancellor, saying the Narendra Modi government does not want him to continue in the chair. Sen, who has long been a critic of Modi, in a letter to the Governing Board of the University blamed the absence of government's approval for delay in nod from the Visitor, President Pranab Mukherjee, to his name even though the recommendation was sent to him over a month back. "...It is hard for me not to conclude that the government wants me to cease being the Chancellor after July, and technically, it has the power to do so. I have, therefore, decided that in the best interest of Nalanda University, I should exclude myself.”
