Holding Hostage

In the afternoon, another senior Justice of the High Court came, bringing news that there was no way the chancellor would address his students, and that the earlier promise was a miscommunication. The Hon’ble Judge made promises stating that the administrative authority will be sent on leave, while a committee is set up to address his misdemeanours and the revocation of the suspension of the 6 students, and also our demands of addressing discriminatory in-timings and formalisation of a student body.

Further, like the earlier judges, upon making his promises, he stated that if we do not agree to what they have put before us and call off the protest, all their promises will be scrapped and we will get nothing out of the protest. It is telling that the judge himself had remarked, during the course of a conversation with the entire student collective, that the suspension orders were unlawful and the administrative officer’s actions were sexist and discriminatory.
