JNU Students Continue Hunger Strike Over Rustication and Campus Demands
Jawaharlal Nehru University students, led by JNUSU representatives, have been on an indefinite hunger strike for over two weeks, demanding the revocation of rustication orders, restoration of the Gender Sensitisation Committee Against Sexual Harassment, reinstatement of the JNU entrance exam, and changes to disciplinary rules. CPI(M) Rajya Sabha member John Brittas has appealed to President Droupadi Murmu and Education Minister Pralhad Joshi for intervention. The university administration's response has been viewed as insufficient by the protesters.
