Jasim Ali Khan, who has been on a hunger strike since the protest began, accused the university administration of launching a “crackdown” and demanded the revocation of students’ suspensions.
Jamia students began their protest and hunger strike on October 12, demanding the restoration of the students’ union.
This reveals the most brutal face of the Jamia administration,” AISA said in a press release. Jasim Ali Khan, who has been on a hunger strike since the protest began, accused the university administration of launching a “crackdown” and demanded the revocation of students’ suspensions. Addressing the ongoing controversy over graffiti on the university campus showcasing the “Free Kashmir” slogan, Anas argued that a narrative was being peddled to disrupt this peaceful protest.
“The hunger strikers and the protest site are being attacked. Urging the university admin to probe the matter, he asserted that protesters were not involved. In the initial days of the agitation, tensions escalated after Delhi Police attempted to remove protesters from the designated protest site on the university campus.
The protest has been peaceful since day one and will remain the same in future,” he told news agency ANI. “A narrative is being peddled to (disrupt) the protest. We don’t know whether the (university) administration or someone is peddling this. This is a matter of investigation since the responsibility for the security of Jamia lies with the admin. You check the cameras to see who is writing (such slogans) and clear the matter. The protesters and (hunger) strikers are absolutely not involved in this.
