“I felt terrible, they were maligning us right in front of us, sitting outside our campus. I was shocked that government teachers were doing this and the district magistrate had set up the camp while we are still a functioning university,” Zaheeruddin lamented.
Arguing that the counselling camp amounted to contempt of court, he mentioned that the administration wrote to the Rampur DM citing a 2019 high court stay order that specifically ordered that students and staff of the university must not be harassed. The camp was removed after two days, on July 18 evening.
