JNUSU stages protest over Najeeb Ahmed

The JNU Students Union (JNUSU) on Monday staged a protest against the varsity’s administration for failing to take action against the students who unleashed attack on Najeeb Ahmed.

 The student group on Monday held a demonstration outside the University Court Meeting on the campus asking the authorities for not taking action against the ABVP members who allegedly assaulted Najeeb. The JNUSU said that no enquiry on Proctor level has been initiated in this regard even after 51 days have passed since the missing of Najeeb.

The student body mocked at the administration for not finding Najeeb’s ‘assaulters.’ JNUSU claims that the Vice Chancellor reiterated his earlier stand, “The VC continues to give irresponsible response saying ‘Proctorial Enquiry’ on MahiMandavi issues has now been completed and action will be taken soon. This, he has been saying since days while no action has been taken against those perpetrators even after 51days,” said Satarupa Chakraborty, General Secretary, JNUSU.

“While the JNU administration is shamefully trying to curtail our basic democratic right to protest, debate and dissent and even pasting posters, we do not see any action against the ABVP goons who perpetrated violence on Najeeb,” alleged Satarupa. JNUSU reiterated that they will intensify their struggle till Najeeb is brought back to JNU safe and till justice is delivered in the case. The University Court Meeting is an annual meet to discuss annual reports, accounts, finances, and decisions taken by its Executive Council.

The meeting, chaired by the Chancellor of the University, was attended by the Vice Chancellor, faculty members, and a number of Parliament members, nominated exclusively for this purpose.
