Students on hunger strike demanding the restoration of Jamia Millia Islamia’s students’ union elections alleged they were “forcibly removed” from the protest site around 5.30 a.m. on Saturday, triggering further protests. The administration, however, denied using force and said the students were asked to vacate the spot as they were protesting outside the designated area.
Several students have been staging a hunger strike since October 12 demanding the restoration of student union elections that were last held in 2006.
