MP Urges Centre to Address Jamia Students' Hunger Strike and Union Elections
CPI(M) Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas has called on Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi to intervene in Jamia Millia Islamia's ongoing student agitation.

Brittas highlighted concerns over student suspensions, reported violence, and the absence of elected representation affecting student welfare and grievance redressal.
