Delhi University Law students go on hunger strike to demand exam postponement.

On Saturday, a group of law students at Delhi University started a hunger strike in protest at their syllabus not being finished and that they were asking for the exam to be postponed. In order to provide a sufficient break between two papers, the protesting students of the second, fourth, and sixth semesters also wanted revisions to the date sheet. The students issued a statement saying that they would not leave the premises until their demands were met.

The demonstration is being held by students from the Campus Law Center (CLC), Law Center I, and Law Center II. They expressed concerns that their syllabus was incomplete and that their online lectures were still in session, despite the fact that the tests were set to begin on August 10.

“We have begun a hunger strike until our demands are met. A few students’ blood pressure has gone down. But we are not ending the strike till the administration postpones the examination,” Swapnil, a law faculty student, said.

Several students sat on a dharna and held placards that read: “Don’t play with our careers” and “We are humans, not machines.” Sakhti Singh, a second-semester student at the Law Faculty, said the students have been protesting for the last few days and even though the officials gave them assurances, nothing has happened.
