Jamia students continue strike

NEW DELHI, APRIL 20. Students of the Jamia Millia Islamia did not call off their strike today, despite an assurance by the Lt. Governor, Mr. Vijai Kapoor, and the Delhi Police Commissioner, Mr. Ajai Raj Sharma, that the cases registered against some of them would be withdrawn.

Office-bearers of the Jamia Teachers Association are holding talks with the students to apprise them of the assurance of the Lt. Governor and the Police Commissioner.

The JMI faculty member, Prof. Shamim Hansi, replied in the negative when asked whether there was any plan to postpone the examination, scheduled to begin April 26.

Over 60 students were booked for rioting and assault on public servant after they clashed with the police on April 9, when they had gone there to arrest a student involved in an assault case.
