RGNUL students protest against Vice Chancellor's hostel visit, demand resignation
Patiala: Students of Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL), Patiala, are protesting against Vice Chancellor Prof. Jai Shankar Singh after his unannounced visit to the girls' hostel, which they claim violated their privacy.
The protest intensified following allegations that Singh made inappropriate comments regarding the clothing of female students.
A video circulating on social media shows the Vice Chancellor inspecting the rooms of female students. When students objected, Singh was seen explaining that he was accompanied by a female warden.
However, students argued that university rules do not permit even parents to enter the hostel, raising concerns over the VC's visit.
The student body has demanded Singh's resignation, stating that a male authority figure should not be allowed in female students' private spaces, regardless of being accompanied by female staff.
In response, Singh clarified that the visit was due to complaints regarding hostel amenities and food quality. He issued an unconditional apology during an address to the students, expressing that he viewed all female students as his granddaughters.
