Students backed by some political parties and human rights groups will march to English and Foreign Languages University (Eflu) to protest against the rustication of three students as pressure mounted on the varsity from all corners to overturn the order. The students were rusticated for their alleged role in breaking the glass door of the university library in March during a protest against restricted timings to use the facility.
While the deputy librarian said he was in his room in the first floor when the incident happened, the assistant librarian was on leave on the March 11, the day the incident reportedly occurred. "If none of the library staff reported the names of rusticated students, then who did? The varsity did not tell us when the enquiry committee was formed to look into the allegations against the students. We also do not know who the members of the committee are and on whose witness accounts did the committee act," said Karthik Navayan Battula, secretary, Human Rights Forum, Hyderabad, which is fighting for the rusticated students.
'Chalo Eflu', called by students of the varsity, will see hundreds of students from University of Hyderabad and Osmania University marching to the Eflu campus.
Students have been protesting for the past five days demanding the university administration withdraw the rustication orders.
