Students seek reopening of DU colleges; protest on
The Hindu
We were made to end stir by police by intimidation, they say
Despite the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) clearing the decks for opening of schools, colleges and other educational institutions, the Delhi University has not taken an official call yet on complete reopening. Various student organisations, though, have been protesting demanding the reopening of the campus.
Members of the All India Students’ Association (AISA) have been on a hunger strike outside the arts faculty building for over five days. AISA said even though it has received support from students across the university, no university official has come to meet or listen to its demands.
AISA questioned why the university administration is not willing to listen to students’ demands and reopen the campus when they have been given the go-ahead by the Government authorities.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
