New Delhi, March 9 The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) has announced a student referendum, which will be conducted on Tuesday across all schools of the university, seeking the students' mandate "on whether the vice chancellor should be removed."
The referendum will be overseen by former members of the JNU Teachers' Association (JNUTA), and the results will be released on Wednesday.
No immediate response was received from the JNU VC's office.
"Taking into account the casteist remarks made by the JNU VC recently, the referendum will open the field for students to express their opinion on whether the VC should continue to remain in her position or be removed. The voices of the students will be heard," former JNUSU president Nitish Kumar told
