Why do you think Professor Gaitonde decided never to preside over meetings again?

It was Prof. Gaitonde’s experience in the public meeting of Azad Maidan which made him do so. It was a public meeting held without a president. The presidential chair was there but it was kept vacant. The audience as well as the speakers were sick of the remarks from the chair. They had realised the futility of such remark. To them only the speakers were important.

When Gaitonde tried to force himself into the President’s chair, they bodily threw him out of the Azad Maidan. Thus, Gaitonde realised that the masses did not want the presiding dignitary or his lecture. So, he decided never to preside over meetings again.
