JNU appeals students to end protest to conduct academic activities smoothly
India TodayThe Jawaharlal Nehru University administration on Thursday appealed to students agitating against a draft hostel manual, which allegedly has provisions for fee hike and dress code, to end their protest as it is affecting the academic activities. The administration said it is highly concerned that some students have continued their agitation for days and accused the agitators of repeatedly issuing propaganda materials with often offensive and abusive language. "The administration appeals to the agitating students to stop their propaganda and falsehood campaigns, and spare the vast majority of innocent students who want to concentrate on their studies," it said. The students' union has been on a strike against a draft hostel manual approved by the Inter-Hall administration, saying the manual has provisions for the fee hike, dress code and curfew timings.
