students: JNUSU prezNew Delhi, Jul 26 (PTI) With the deadline for semester registrations over, JNUSU President Mohit Kumar Pandey today said JNU had committed an "academic murder" by denying him and four other students permission for registrations. It is a kind of academic murder for raising pro-student issues," said Pandey who refused to pay Rs 20,000 fine. JNUSU had in a council meeting decided to not pay fines imposed on the union president, but pay fines of other students to retain studentship. However, the students union president Pandey said he will be planning a bigger protest in the coming days to counter the actions of the administration. Imposing fine on students, setting enquiries against them and stopping their academic work is the only method through which they can do this," he claimed.
