Office bearers of the union along with large number of students today staged a demonstration near the administrative block against “arbitrary” way in which students were punished. “Apart from denying registrations, the varsity has also blocked results and degrees of three students which has pushed them to withdraw from their studies,” Pandey said. The union is holding its next protest meeting on 4 August in which previous members of the administration will take part to inform participants on how liberal the varsity used to be. “We will hold campaigns until the present vice chancellor is removed from his office,” JNUSU general secretary Satarupa Chakraborty said. An online campaign with hashtag #VCmustgo has also been widely circulated on social media sites by the union members. On 25 July, the last day for registrations to semesters, Pandey along with four others were denied permission to register for failing to pay fines.
