New Delhi: Barely a week after the students’ hunger strike ended, different student organisations, which included the All India Students Association (AISA), AIDSO, SFI, Disha, VCF, Democratic Students Union (DSU) and others, resorted to an indefinite sit-in protest outside the Delhi University’s (DU) Arts Faculty on Monday, November 8.
“On October 29, the DU proctors informed us that a notification about campus reopening will be issued after Diwali. It has been a few days after that and no notification has been issued,” AISA Delhi State Secretary, Abhigyan, one of those fifty-plus protestors, was quoted as saying by Edexlive.
On how long do they intend to protest, Abhigyan said, “We had withdrawn the hunger strike on the condition that a notification will be released within a week. Since that hasn’t happened our indefinite protest will continue till a definite notification is issued.”
However, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) plans to hold a protest only if a notification about campus reopening is not issued by November 10.
“We were assured that a notification will be issued by November 10 by senior officials. If that is not done, we will conduct a larger protest, even hunger strikes if necessary to demand reopening of DU campus,” said ABVP Delhi State Secretary, Sidharth Yadav.
