Jamia Millia Islamia shifts all classes online amid student protests

The move follows a 13-day hunger strike and campus tensions over demands for a time-bound students’ union election schedule.

  • On Friday, Delhi Police detained 10 people, including Congress MP Imran Masood, near Jamia Millia Islamia University amid ongoing protests demanding restoration of the students' union. Masood was released shortly after his detention.
  • Five students have maintained an indefinite hunger strike since October 12, with their protest entering its 13th day on Saturday, demanding a formal notification announcing a schedule for students' union elections.
  • Jamia Millia Islamia University shifted all classes to online mode on Saturday, citing the ongoing situation as a 'precautionary measure' to ensure student safety and continuity in teaching without disruption.
  • The Vishva Hindu Parishad condemned slogans like 'Free Kashmir' reported on campus, while Masood asserted that 'Kashmir is an integral part of India' after his detention by police.
  • Students rejected the administration's newly formed committee to draft a union constitution, demanding an immediate, time-bound announcement for 2026-27 elections instead of what they alleged was a delaying tactic.
