New Delhi: May 04: ‘Hunger strike is an unlawful activity and a harmful method of protest that adversely affects the health and career of the students’, JNU Vice Chancellor Jagadesh Kumar appealed the students on Wednesday.
The strike by two groups of students in protest against the punishment in connection with the event during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised, entered the seventh day on Wednesday. While JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar complained of low BP yesterday, ABVP’s Saurabh Sharma, who was complainant of the Afzal Guru event, was rushed to AIIMS after his glucose level dipped.
“The administration believes in dialogue and discussion to resolve any issue affecting functioning of the varsity and asks students to immediately call off the strike and come for discussion,” Kumar said.
Members of ABVP said that they will be meeting the VC on Wednesday to put forth their demands and members of the other protesting group said, they have no such plan.
