JNU Teachers’ Association on Monday demanded the resignation of the Vice-Chancellor, M Jagadesh Kumar, following unprecedented violence in the campus by ‘outsiders’. The association held that without the complicity of the JNU administration, it was not possible for outsiders to walk inside the campus with iron rods, sticks and hammers and assault teachers and students.

The Association has written a letter to the President apprising him of the situation and asking him to replace the VC, who has consistently refused to hold talks with students and teachers on issues concerning the university.

But the VC, who was conspicuous by his absence all through Sunday evening when outsiders went on the rampage, surfaced on Monday to blame the striking students for the mayhem.
