New Delhi: Protesting students at the Jawaharlal Nehru University here painted their vice-chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar's office wall with 'messages' on Wednesday.
They barged into the administrative block to talk to him about the hostel fee hike. When they could not find him, they started painting messages on the wall.
'You are not our VC. Go back to your Sangh,' the students wrote on his office door after removing his nameplate.
They wrote another message on his wall, saying 'Mamidala, Bye Bye Forever' and wrote 'Selfie Point' on it.
Speaking to ETV Bharat, one of the students said, "The VC is not available in his office, we are trying to meet him for days now. We are tired of trying, whatever messages have been written on his office wall are apt."
"Being our vice-chancellor, he should meet us and try resolving our problems. But it seems like he has no interest in that," another student said.
Some other messages painted on the wall included 'Bring Back Najeeb', 'Time 4 Revolution' and 'RIP VC'.
Najeeb Ahmed was a first-year student at JNU, who went missing in October 2016 and was never found.
Complaining against the Chancellor, one student said, "Whenever something new happens in the university, our Chancellor turns to Twitter but he never has time to talk or meet with the students."
The executive committee meeting was to be held at the Convention Centre at the university, the venue for which was changed at the last moment.
Speaking on this, a student said, "The shifting of the meeting venue shows how scared the administration is by the students."
"It is ironical that ministers are trying to resolve this issue while our own administration is not concerned," one student smirked.
Taking a jibe at the decisions taken by the administration, the students said, "This is not a sale on Amazon or Flipkart, we do not want discounts on the hiked fee."
"Our protest will go on until the authorities take their decisions back and the Chancellor meets us in person," they added.
The students have been staging a protest at the JNU campus for about two weeks now.
The protests are being held against the Draft Hostel Manual, containing new provisions for fee-hike, curfew timings and dress code.
