MPs and Student Groups Demand Reinstatement of Rusticated JNU Students
Several Members of Parliament, student organizations, and faculty members have called for the rollback of rustication notices issued to five Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union office bearers and a former president. The disciplinary actions followed protests against a biometric entry system at the university library. Supporters argue these measures undermine democratic rights and university autonomy, while criticizing the administration's approach as restrictive. The JNU administration has not responded to these demands.
