Patiala, September 25, 2024: Protests at Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL) in Patiala continued for a third consecutive day, as students expressed their grievances regarding the alleged unprofessional conduct of Vice-Chancellor Prof Jai Shankar Singh. The students have accused VC of allegedly violating girl students' privacy at their hostel.
The protesting students have also written a letter to the Chancellor and and the Chief Justice of India where they have accused the Vice-Chancellor of not visiting the girls hostel with any prior notice entering students' rooms and making remarks on the clothing. The students have demanded intervention on the matter.
On Wednesday, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi tweeted in support of the students.
"It is extremely shameful that the Vice Chancellor of Rajiv Gandhi Law University, Patiala, suddenly entered the rooms of the girl students without informing them and checked them and made indecent comments on their dress. The things that the students have said to the media are extremely objectionable. Girls are capable of deciding their food, clothing and choice of course. Moral policing and violation of the privacy of girls by misusing the rights is unacceptable. The Women's Commission should take cognizance of this matter and strict action should be taken against the Vice Chancellor," Priyanka Gandhi posted on X.
