Handful of students running misinformation campaign: JNU

New Delhi, Aug 2: With students protesting against the JNU administration accusing it of various charges, including one of corruption, the university said a “misinformation campaign” is being run by a “handful of students”.
In a communique addressed to the student community, which was issued in late Tuesday evening, the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) administration listed a number of reasons in its attempt to discredit the students’ complaints as unfounded.
A protest meeting was held on Tuesday at the Administrative Block of the university by the JNU Students’ Union (JNUSU) against the refusal of registration to its President Mohit Pandey in the current semester for not paying fines amounting to between Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000.
The JNUSU during the meet also raised issues of seat-cut and said it would soon expose a corruption on the part of the administration.
On its part, the university said that Pandey refused to pay fines “imposed on him after the recommendation of the Proctorial Inquiry Committee” and that he could have cleared his dues like other office-bearers, who too were subjected to like punishment.
It gave the same ratiole in case of another protesting student Dileep Yadav, who too has been barred from registeration. (IANS)
