JNUSU Hunger Strike Intensifies: JNU on the Brink
The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) indefinite hunger strike escalated dramatically following the hospitalization of its president on July 8, 2025. Students remain steadfast in their demands.
Key demands include the reinstatement of the JNUEE entrance exam, extension of hostel accommodations, and the revocation of several controversial notices issued by the university administration.
The JNU administration has indicated a willingness to discuss these demands with the Vice-Chancellor. However, protesting students remain resolute, and their demonstration has garnered increasing support from various quarters.
The ongoing protest highlights the growing tension between the student body and the university administration. The health of the JNUSU president adds a critical dimension to the situation, raising concerns about the students’ well-being and the potential for further escalation.
The outcome of this standoff will significantly impact the academic environment at JNU and set a precedent for student activism in other universities across the nation.
