Jammu March 25: Amrit Wattal Aam Admi Party (AAP) Youth President Jammu Poonch Lok Sabha Seat on Friday reiterated the demand of holding all semester exams of engineering courses in online mode without any exception.
He was addressing party activists who were staging protest against Vice Chancellor of University of Jammu (JU) for discriminating between students of engineering courses by holding third semester exams offline while giving permission to other semesters to appear in exams in online mode.
Wattal said on one side the University of Jammu has allowed Engineering Colleges like Mahant Bachitter Singh College of Engineering, Yognanda College of Engineering, Government College of College of Engineering and Bhargav College of Engineering to conduct examinations in online mode but on the other the Third Semester students have been asked to appear in offline mode. He said that this is sheer discrimination as students of all other semesters are appearing in exams using online mode. He warned the JU administration to stop discriminating students as AAP will not allow the university to play with the future of students.
Amrit Wattal joined the protest of JU students who were assembled in the University Campus and raised slogans against the Vice Chancellor for showing prejudice against the Engineering students of third semester.
Amrit also expressed concern over JU’s apathy as one student got unconscious during the protest and was hospitalized but no one from the university side visited the student to enquire about his well being. He also highlighted the ruthless behaviour of a University staffer who snatched away the electronic gadget of a media person, who was covering the protest.
Amrit Wattal said that such cheap tactics cannot muzzle the voice of students as AAP is standing shoulder to shoulder with the students and no one will be allowed to play with the career of the students.
