A second-year student from Kashmir was rusticated from Gurgaon’s Shree Guru Gobind Singh Tricentenary University Tuesday, for circulating what the varsity claimed were “anti-nation” posts on social media in the wake of last week’s Pulwama terror attack.
The order, signed by the registrar, states: “The University shall not tolerate such type of indiscipline on campus and, hence, it has been decided that (the student) be rusticated… with immediate effect.” It adds that a four-member panel has been set up to further “investigate” the matter.
According to university officials, trouble began brewing on Monday evening after other students read posts shared by the student on Instagram. “The girl had made comments and circulated posts indicating that she approved of what happened to our soldiers… We protested… and the university rusticated her. We are not planning to take the matter further for now,” claimed Harish Gulia, who is pursuing Hospital Administration at the university.
