Jamia Millia Islamia Students Protest for Union Restoration Amid Disciplinary Actions
Students at Jamia Millia Islamia have been staging a hunger strike since October 12, demanding the restoration of the university's student union, last held in 2006. The administration has taken disciplinary actions, including rustication and suspension of protesting students, citing unauthorized protests and property damage. Students allege forcible removal and detention by police, while authorities deny use of force, stating protests occurred outside designated areas. The campus was closed for five days amid ongoing protests and calls for dialogue and reinstatement of student elections.
