PTI, ALIGARH: As the ongoing protest by AMU students entered its 11th day today, the students’ union leaders said that the stir would be intensified and a relay hunger strike started this evening if their demands were not met.
AMUSU president Mashkoor Usmani told PTI that a general body meeting of the students’ union was held yesterday.
In the meeting, it was decided that a relay hunger strike would begin this evening if authorities do not agree to take action against members of right-wing organizations who barged into the campus and were involved in acts of violence, Usmani said.
They were also demanding action against the police officers responsible for a lathicharge on students on the same day. A number of students were injured in the lathicharge, he said.
Around midnight last night, AMU Students’ Union met District Magistrate Chandra Bhushan Singh to press for their demands and to hammer out a solution before this evening.
