New Delhi, March 10 Several students from Dr BR Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) joined a protest organized by the Delhi unit of the Students' Federation of India (SFI) outside the university gate at Kashmere Gate on Tuesday to condemn the completion of one year since the expulsion of four students.
The expelled students, all members of SFI, had originally been suspended and later expelled in connection with the alleged assault on the vice chancellor and registrar during a protest in April last year.
"AUD used to be a space where students had the freedom to express their ideas," said SFI Delhi state president Sooraj Elamon, adding that the administration is trying to vilify the students who protest for their basic rights.
The original suspensions can be traced back to last March, when three students affiliated with SFI were suspended in connection with exposing an alleged case of cyber-bullying on the Karampura campus of AUD. In April, SFI activists had called an indefinite hunger strike on the Kashmere Gate campus regarding the matter.
Five more students were suspended following the protests, following the alleged assault on the vice chancellor and registrar.
