Several students of the Jawaharlal Nehru University allegedly involved in shouting anti-national slogans inside the campus have refused to join a three-member probe committee set up by the JNU Vice-Chancellor.
In a representation letter submitted by the parents of all the eight alleged students the parents said that the committee has members only from one centre therefore, the chances of a free and fair investigation is less.
However, all the students alleged of shouting anti-national slogans went underground since the videos showing them shouting slogans have gone viral in the media.
The probe committee was formed on Monday after initial report by the JNU proctor found all of them guilty.
According to the administration, the committee will be examining all the evidences and witnesses and is expected to come up with its report in two weeks.
The inquiry report by the proctor reads: “Maintaining that the act by students amounted to ‘indiscipline’ and any talk about disintegration of nation cannot be ‘national’, a further committee has been set up to come up with the findings.”
However, all the students allegedly found guilty in an investigation carried out by the JNU proctor are under the scanner of the Delhi Police.
The controversy erupted earlier this week when a few students had pasted posters across the campus inviting people to gather for a protest march against the “judicial killing of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhatt” and in solidarity with the “struggle of Kashmiri people for their democratic right to self determination” at the varsity’s Sabarmati dhaba.
Latter the Delhi Police arrested JNUSU president Kanhiya Kumar charges of sedition and sent to the judicial custody. The arrest of the JNU president sparked an outraged.
