India TV News  

As the protests over hostel fee hike in Jawaharlal Nehru University continues, the university has issued a statement in its defence. Pointing towards the reports of hostel fee hike, the Jawaharlal Nehru University has alleged a misinformation campaign. JNU protest: What happened on Thursday On Thursday, the JNU Teachers' Association had met the HRD Ministry-appointed high-powered panel and had demanded a complete roll-back of the hiked hostel fee, besides removal of the university's vice-chancellor, even as some teachers disassociated themselves from the group owing to their "indifference" towards the alleged attack on their colleagues by protesters. The three-member high-powered panel was constituted on Monday to recommend ways to restore normal functioning of the Jawaharlal Nehru University and mediate between the administration and students who have been protesting for over three weeks over the hostel fee hike. "Jawaharlal Nehru University is one of the best public universities according to the HRD ministry's ranking and it is important to ensure that good students can study at affordable costs," he said.
