New Delhi, Jan 08 (ANI): Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) VC M Jagadesh Kumar had a discussion with MHRD Secretary over the law and order situation in the varsity. He said, "We had a detailed discussion with MHRD secretary and we explained to them the steps we are taking to bring normalcy in the university. Thousands of students are registering themselves for the new winter session. We hope that normal academic activities should take place as planned." Responding to the huge uproar on the visit of Deepika Padukone to JNU to join students' protest against violence, VC Jagadesh Kumar said, "I would like to ask all those great personalities coming to support agitators, what about thousands of students and teachers who are deprived of their rights of doing research and teaching? Why can't you stand with them?"
