JNU Violence: HRD Ministry Officials To Meet VC Jagadesh Kumar Tomorrow

JNU VC M Jagadesh Kumar: There were rumours that some wardens resigned. Our wardens haven't resigned. There is no such resignation that have taken place. Some protesting students surrounded our wardens, shouted on them&humiliated them. Is it way to have any dialogue?

JNU VC MJ Kumar: Around 4:30 pm (on 5th Jan) we came to know that group of students were moving aggressively towards hostel area. Then we sent our security guards to assess and control situation, but more students gathered. Immediately, police was contacted. Situation was contained.

JNU VC M Jagadesh Kumar: JNU is known as a very peaceful campus. We always debate and discuss and resolve issues. Violence is never an answer for any grievances. It is very very unfortunate that such violent incident took place in our campus.
