Jamia withdraws showcause issued to student following protests

Jamia Millia Islamia today withdrew a show-cause notice issued to a PhD student for allegedly giving misleading account to the media about some issues faced by the varsity.
The decision was taken following a day long hunger strike by students which was called off after the show-cause was withdrawn.
"Your response was examined by the Dean of Students Welfare and the Proctorial Office and was found to be satisfactory. Hence, the show-cause has been withdrawn," a communication sent to the student said.
Imran, a research scholar, had spoken to a media organisation about alleged lack of chairs in the library in the month of June. He had also spoken about the issue of water logging near hostel campus due to which students were facing problems in commuting.

The notice issued to Imran by Chief Proctor Mehtab Alam said "It has been reported that you have given statement that there was a shortage of chairs in library room. Again you have put allegation on Jamia administration that hostel campus is flooded with water and administration is coolly sleeping".
"Such irresponsible behaviour of yours of giving misleading accounts amounts to unbecoming a PhD student of Jamia. Take note that your above said unlawful acts are in gross violation of the rules and regulations, and are being viewed seriously by the authorities," the notice added.
