Jamia Millia Islamia Forms Committee Amid Student Protests for Union Restoration
Students at Jamia Millia Islamia have been protesting since October 12, demanding the restoration of the Jamia Millia Islamia Students' Union (JMISU), dissolved in 2006. The protests include a hunger strike and calls to revoke disciplinary actions against participants. The university administration has formed a seven-member committee, including senior faculty and officials, to engage with students, examine grievances, and seek a resolution. The administration cites past disruptions and a 2022 court order in explaining the union's dissolution, while students emphasize the need for a collective platform to raise concerns.
