Clash at Jamia: Students Detained amid Protest Against University Crackdown

Ten Jamia Millia Islamia University students were detained for protesting disciplinary actions against two PhD scholars. The protest criticized the administration's stance on student activism, leading to accusations of vandalism and disruptions. Despite offers for dialogue, tensions persist over university policies and past protests.

In a significant turn of events at Jamia Millia Islamia University, over ten students were detained by Delhi Police for protesting against recent disciplinary actions. The controversy began as students rallied against the university's decision to issue show-cause notices to two PhD scholars involved in protests last year.

The protests, which started on Monday, highlighted the administration's alleged crackdown on student activism. The university accused the protesters of vandalizing property and causing disruptions, including breaking into the central canteen and damaging the security advisor's office.

Despite the unrest, the university has offered dialogue through a committee, but protesters demanded revocation of past penalties and assurances against future disciplinary actions. The situation remains tense as police security is tightened and investigations continue.
