Students of English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU) have decided to go on an indefinite and relay hunger strike starting at 1 p.m. on Monday until their demands are met. The students said the decision came in response to the alleged apathy towards students’ concerns and the alleged repressive measures employed to curb dissent on the campus.
The demands by the students include justice for the survivor and arrest of the perpetrators involved in the sexual assault; withdrawal of the wrongful FIRs and show-cause notices against students; and the reconstitution of the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) with elected student representatives, strictly in accordance with the UGC regulations, and without the administrative members, especially those who have shown their inability to handle such a case sensitively and responsibly.
