The suspended students have refused to appear before the enquiry committee and we will protest outside the EC meeting venue as well," Pandey.The JNU Teachers Association (JNUTA) has also announced its support to the agitating students and requested the EC members not to endorse the proclaimed Academic Council's decisions and send the matters back to it for a proper discussion.
