As students' protests across the country continued in different ways, such as raising slogans, expressing views on banners, and making short videos, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras asked students to take down the videos posted on their Instagram accounts.
An IIT Madras student, on the condition of anonymity, said, "The university asked us to take down the Instagram videos in support of the student protests." The student shared that they were asked by the Dean to follow the directions. "Guys, we were asked by the Dean to take down the posts related to the Jantar Mantar protests. Our faculty advisor was called. We will be taking down those posts, including the solidarity video. Since you guys had contributed to the video, we thought it was important to let you know," reads a message received by an IIT Madras student.
