THRISSUR: A seminar organized on gender politics in Thrissur Medical College has courted a controversy. It stoked a controversy as the male and female students attending the seminar were segregated with a screen.

The seminar was organised under the leadership of Mujahid Wisdom Group on June 6. The programme was inaugurated by Wisdom Group leader Abdul Basil. Criticisms were showered after the pictures of the function circulated on social media.

The pictures of the programme were posted on Facebook by the student leaders of the Wisdom Group itself. Many came forward criticising it on the social media. Meantime, the authorities said the programme has no connection with the college union.
