JNUSU president asked to appear before proctorial committee for 'violating' varsity order

Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union president N Sai Balaji has been asked to present himself before a proctorial committee for allegedly violating an order of the varsity administration, according to a letter sent to him Friday.

On September 17, the administration had banned protests, rallies and processions in the varsity till further notice following alleged violence between members of the RSS-affiliated ABVP and the Left wing members.

In a letter sent to Balaji, it has been said that he led a procession on October 10 "with outsiders", which was in violation of the notice issued by the varsity's registrar.

He has been asked to present himself before a proctorial committee on October 22.

"The JNU administration has sent me a proctor notice for marching with contract workers celebrating "One Work One Pay" court judgement. The administration has lost it. First they cut salaries and harass workers and now they are wanting to punish students who are fighting with them for their rights," Balaji said.
