The JNU administration submitted a report to the HRD Ministry on Monday about the February 9 incident which sparked a widespread outrage among various quarters.
“We got a communication from the Ministry seeking information about the investigation being conducted by the university about the incident. A report has been sent on Monday,” JNU Registrar Bhupinder Zutshi said.
The varsity has stated the sequence of events in the report beginning from how four students had taken permission for an event titled “Poetry-reading-The country without post office”.
“On the day of the event, it came to notice of the administration that the poster of the event was captioned ‘Against the Brahmanical Collective conscience, against judicial killing of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhat and in solidarity with the struggle of the Kashmiri people for their democratic right to self determination,” the report said.
“Despite the university deciding to withdraw the permission the students went ahead with the programme where allegedly certain objectionable slogans were raised. The organisers also invited the media to cover it without permission from university authorities.”
The varsity formed a high-level enquiry committee comprising of three members to enquire into the incident, the reports says.
