Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) shifts classes to online mode as student protests continue for a 13th day. Multiple outlets report the move is implemented as a precaution to protect students’ safety and academic continuity while demonstrations go on. Students say the protest is tied to demands including the restoration of the Jamia Milia Islamia Students’ Union (JMISU).
The protests involve an extended hunger strike that begins on October 12, with students seeking the restoration of student union elections that were last held in 2006. NDTV and others also describe clashes between protesters and guards, while Times of India adds that students deny allegations about raising slogans for a “Free Kashmir.” Outlets vary in emphasis, with some foregrounding safety and the university’s justification, and others foregrounding alleged confrontation during the protest.
Across coverage, the central points align: JMI moves to online instruction, students continue protesting for JMISU restoration/elections, and the hunger strike remains a key part of the dispute. The main differences are in what additional allegations or context each outlet highlights beyond those shared core facts.
