JNUSU Hunger Strike Enters 12th Day Over Rustication and Campus Demands
The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) is on the 12th day of an indefinite hunger strike demanding the revocation of rustication of its office bearers, restoration of the Gender Sensitisation Committee Against Sexual Harassment (GSCASH), reinstatement of the JNU entrance exam (JNUEE), and rollback of the Chief Proctor Office (CPO) manual. Over 200 students joined the strike in solidarity. Despite multiple negotiation rounds, the administration has not provided comprehensive responses, citing funding issues for JNUEE and agreeing only to review some concerns. Protesters report deteriorating health and urge meaningful dialogue.
