Overview
- The university issued an order on Monday committing to hold Jamia Millia Islamia students’ union elections within 15 days of the union constitution being approved.
- The order revoked some suspensions and show‑cause notices and set up a committee to investigate security staff conduct during the protests.
- Protesters refused to call off the agitation because the order does not set a deadline for drafting or approving the constitution and does not name election officials.
- Two students remain on indefinite hunger strike, fresh scuffles and police detentions have continued, and the university has extended online classes and issued final notices to vacate protest sites.
- A five‑member drafting committee is expected to submit a constitution by December 20, students want representation in that process, and the dispute highlights the longer history of Jamia operating without a campus‑wide elected union since 2006.
