NALSAR Students Oppose Chief Justice Surya Kant as Convocation Chief Guest Over NEET Protest Remarks
Students at NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, have opposed inviting Chief Justice of India Surya Kant as the convocation chief guest, citing concerns over his recent remarks during Supreme Court proceedings related to NEET protest cases. Over 450 students from multiple batches wrote to university authorities urging reconsideration, arguing that the invitation conflicts with constitutional accountability and academic freedom. The university has not officially confirmed the convocation date or the chief guest, and the controversy centers on the CJI's reported dismissal of urgent pleas and video evidence of police actions during protests.
