Though the language in the order against the two former students is the same, the notification against Zargar mentioned her involvement in organising agitations, protests and marches on the campus against irrelevant and objectionable issues to disturb the peaceful academic environment.
Jamia Millia Islamia bans entry of three ex-students for agitating on campus
Jamia Millia Islamia has announced that it has banned the entry of its three former students, including Safoora Zargar, on its campus for agitating in the University over an irrelevant and objectionable issue. The move has been taken to maintain a peaceful academic environment and the orders were signed by the Chief Proctor on September 14.
Zargar has been in limelight for her alleged involvement in the anti-CAA protests after the Citizenship Amendment Act was passed by the Parliament in December 2019. "Besides Zargar, the orders have been issued against two more ex-students of Jamia Millia Islamia," the order stated.
Though the language in the order against the two former students is the same, the notification against Zargar mentioned her involvement in organising agitations, protests and marches on the campus against irrelevant and objectionable issues to disturb the peaceful academic environment.
The notices issued against two former students stated that" they were at the forefront of the unauthorized gatherings of students on the campus several times including one which took place in the University's Central Canteen on August 30. They have been found involved in organising agitations, protests and marches on the campus despite not being JMI's students."
"She is instigating innocent students of the University and trying to use the University platform for her malafide political agenda along with some other students. Safoora is hampering the normal functioning of the institution," the order stated.
The order was issued a few days after JMI cancelled the admission of scholar Zargar due to "unsatisfactory" progress in her thesis work. Zargar has refused to comment on the campus ban. She along with several other students has been staging protests against the cancellation of her admission.
"Safoora Zargar is an ex-student of MPhil, Dept. of Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences. She is one of the accused of conspiracy with other persons to instigate and start riots in northeast Delhi on 23.02.2020. She was booked under Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), 1967 by Delhi Police..." the order stated.
"Her name was removed from MPhil because of non-submission of M. Phil dissertation within the given period despite giving several chances and she is not a student of Jamia Millia Islamia," it added.
