MHRD panel seeks 3-day time over JNUSU demands

New Delhi: A Ministry of Human Resource Development committee has sought three days’ time to decide on the demands of JNUSU (Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union) after the two sides met at Shastri Bhawan on Wednesday morning. “The committee has assured us of positive steps and has also said it can not enforce its observation on the university administration. It has asked for three days to discuss the matter with the university,” said Satish Chandra Yadav, JNUSU General Secretary.

Yadav said for these three days, JNUSU would continue its protest, which would be called off only when the administration announces a complete rollback of the proposed fee hike. The next meeting between the two sides is expected on Friday on the JNU campus, and by then the JNUSU will be submitting their demands to the ministry, which will then put the demands before the JNU administration.

Meanwhile, the HRD Ministry said its appeal to the students to restore normalcy in the varsity has been received positively. (IANS)
