After IIT Roorkee, Madras, DU, Now JNU Asks Students Not to Post About Delhi Protests
Citing the Supreme Court’s directions on public demonstrations, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has issued an advisory asking students, faculty and staff to refrain from attending or visiting gatherings at or around Jantar Mantar.
“All stakeholders of JNU’s epistemic community are advised to act responsibly and prioritize their personal safety. In line with the Supreme Court of India’s directions on public demonstrations, you are requested to refrain from attending or visiting gatherings in or around Jantar Mantar, New Delhi,” the university said in its advisory.
The statement also called on members of the university community to take responsibility on social media: “Please exercise responsibility on social media. Violations may lead to legal consequences under applicable law, as well as disciplinary action under the University’s code of conduct,” it said.
The university also encouraged students, faculty, and staff to uphold the values of academic engagement and responsible citizenship.
Similar instructions were also issued by the management of Delhi University, IIT Roorkee and IIT Madras.
CJP Continues with the Same Demand
Meanwhile, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) spokesperson Deepak Balyan declared that the ongoing demonstrations will continue uninterrupted until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan leaves office, dismissing the government’s assurances regarding fast-track courts as inadequate and adding that the youth of this country has woken up and cannot be fooled.
The CJP spokesperson summarized the basic stance of the agitation as follows: “CJP’s clarion call is that this protest will continue indefinitely until Dharmendra Pradhan (Union Education Minister) resigns.
PM Modi says cases will be heard in fast-track courts but these are just words; We don’t trust them because young people have been deceived many times before. Young people feel betrayed and are experiencing distress.” “But the youth of this country has woken up now and they will not fall for such words. Their clear demand is the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan to ensure accountability. “This struggle of ours is a struggle for accountability and responsibility,” he said.
