JNU Students' Union and Vice-Chancellor Disagree Over Hunger Strike Medical Care
Jawaharlal Nehru University Vice-Chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit stated that the administration has provided medical care to hunger-striking students, including rusticated ones, with twice-daily check-ups and held multiple discussions addressing their demands. The Vice-Chancellor described the administration as democratic and humanitarian despite property damage worth Rs 20 lakh. In contrast, the JNU Students' Union accused the administration of denying medical care during the initial days of the strike and challenged the Vice-Chancellor's claims, highlighting ongoing tensions between the parties.
