15 Oct 2012 6:06 AM IST
DUTA’s indefinite relay hunger strike entered its fifth day on SUnday with still no conciliatory sign from the university vice-chancellor.
The left cultural group, Parcham, noted for its repertoire of protest music, performed songs from its recently released album Soorat Badalni Chahiye. This evening of music and protest attracted a large number of teachers.
The DUTA Executive will keep a close watch over the developing situation and review it in its meeting by the end of next week. Thereafter, if the attitude of the vice chancellor and his administration remains the same, the DUTA may decide on a more drastic course of action.
Dayal Singh College students performed a street play, while teachers from Kamla Nehru, Deshbandhu, Guru Gobind Singh , Acharya Narendra Dev and Swami Shraddhanand colleges sat on strike.
The DUTA will intensify its stir unless the university administration concedes to its demands, the foremost being the demand for dialogue and negotiation between the DUTA leadership and the VC.
Meanwhile, the DUTA will also ensure that other teachers’ associations in the capital, namely the JNUTA, the Jamia Teachers’ Association, the IGNOU Teachers’ Association, Jamia Hamdard Teachers’ Association and the recently-formed IP University Teachers’ Association join the DUTA action programme in solidarity.
DUTA said, ‘The indefinite relay hunger strike is expected to attract more teachers from across the university in the coming week. Professors from the English Department, Modern Indian Languages Department and the Germanic and Romance Studies Department have already announced their voluntary participation in the hunger strike.’
