Jamia’s students protest against privacy violation, claim intimidation

Jamia Millia Islamia students accused the University’s administration of violating their confidentiality, showing personal data on the projected protesters, including their names, photos, addresses and phone numbers, at the campus gate. However, the university administration does not yet comment on the accusation.

Students claim that the administration’s step is threatened with their safety and is an attempt to intimidate those who participate in demonstrations against the latest disciplinary actions initiated by Jamia Milia Islam.

“The Jamia administration has crossed all boundaries by inserting personal data on the protest of students outside the university gate. It is not just a violation of privacy, it is an open call for harassment and violence, especially targeting young women,”-allegedly a student associated with AISA leader Sonaksha Gupta. .

In an effort to associate repression with wider political developments, she said: “With the BDP government, which is about to take a position in Delhi, it is not just a coincidence. The administration itself makes us vulnerable.

The dispute began after the university suspended two scientists of Doctor of Sciences for allegedly unauthorized protest. Several students argued that they received a termination, referring to their predictable participation in “acts of vandalism, unauthorized protests and a defamatory university.”

The administration defended its actions, stating that the protests had violated academic activities and led to damage to the property, including the vandalization of the central dining room and violation of the gates of the Office of the Security Advisor. However, student activists argued that the administration was trying to stifle dissent.

In the report of X the protest said: “How do the administration of Jamia make the details of their students in the public? Address and phone numbers were inserted at the gate of Jamia in a gross violation of students’ confidentiality. Who will be attacked by students?”

She added a photo of the student with X Post information about the student, claiming she was inserted at the gate of Jamia.

The situation in Jamia Millia Islamia increased on Thursday, when more than 10 students were allegedly detained by Delhi police in the first hours. The protesters argued that some students remain unattended for hours, which leads to further riots. All students were released in almost 12 hours, but the protest continued.

Some students also claim that the police have contacted their parents, warning them that VAT can be filed against their children if they continue to participate in protests. The statement of the university administration defended its actions, stating that protests violate academic activities in the middle of the semester and violate the rules of the university.

“Several students who were illegally collected in the academic block from February 10, preventing others from attending classes and accessing the Central Library. They found that they had made negative subjects and refute the property of the university,” the message reads.

Former Vice -Chancellor of the National University of Open University Indira Gandhi (Ignou) Basury Ahmad Khan and former Jamia Millia Islamia Hasib Akhmad’s registrar criticized the “detention” of student activists.

“Organization of dissent is a major for democracy. Organizing peaceful protests is also a democratic law of students.

“So, the disciplinary action was not threatened with disciplinary action, and the excessive manifestation of the authorities was the administration.

Khan and Ahmad also took an exception to the notification published by Jamia’s authorities earlier, which said “no protests, Darnassus and lifting slogans against constitutional dignitaries are allowed in any part of the university campus” and warned about disciplinary action.

The statement of two academics said: “Such a message is absolutely undemocratic. We beseech about early settlement with students, including the restoration of the student union so that the situation does not grow further, and normality is restored in the campus.” The response to the university’s actions, student protesters outlined four key requirements: cancellation of termination reports issued to two Doctor scientists, cancellation of the office memorandum of 2022 is accepted against students to participate in protests.

The University’s Disciplinary Committee is planned to meet on February 25 to review the role of dismissed Doctor of Science students in the Jamia Day Organization on December 15 last year, an annual event that celebrates protests against the 2019 CAA.
