Amid CJP protests, IIT Roorkee asks students, staff not to partake in political activity
IIT Roorkee directed students and staff not to engage in political activities, citing potential embarrassment to its relations with the central government. This advisory follows protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over examination paper leaks. The administration clarified that the notice is a routine measure issued at the start of the academic session and is not directly linked to the ongoing protests.
