DU crackdown: Protests banned for 1 month | Prof. Apoorvanand interview

Описание: Delhi University has imposed a blanket ban on protests, public meetings and gatherings on campus for a month starting February 17, following clashes linked to a protest over UGC equity regulations. The administration says such events can escalate beyond control, but DU Professor Apoorvanand argues the move amounts to an abdication of responsibility, claiming the violence was triggered by disruptors rather than protesters and that authorities should act against those instigating clashes instead of suspending the right to protest. He also draws parallels with restrictions on student activism at JNU, questions whether such a blanket ban is unprecedented in recent memory, and suggests the decision reflects a broader political approach to dissent on campus.
