New Delhi: The porn clip that surfaced at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has forced the administration to undertake some drastic measures. Some of them are not finding favour with students.
Student associations in the varsity held a protest on Monday in front of the Administrative Block condemning an official circular by the JNU administration on banning the entry of girls to boys' hostel after 10.30 p.m. following the MMS episode.
A two-and-a-half-hour demonstration had a huge gathering of students from All India Students Association (AISA), Students Federation of India (SFI) and Youth for Equality (YFE) shouting slogans like 'Moral policing down down', 'JNU mei khap panchayat nahi chalega' etc.
A delegation of the protesting students went to the Chief Proctor's office where they had a long series of negotiations with the Proctor and the Registrar for retracting the implementation of the orders mentioned in the circular.
"There was a lot of pressure on us. We had to apply the rules after this MMS thing happened. The students, however, are not in favour of it and say they won't follow the rules, in which case we have to withdraw the circular," said a senior administration official.
The boy in the MMS clip, Janardan Kumar of School of Languages, was missing from Tapti Hostel room.
