New Delhi, Oct 12 (PTI) Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union president N Sai Balaji has been asked to present himself before a proctorial committee for allegedly violating an order of the varsity administration, according to a letter sent to him Friday.On September 17, the administration had banned protests, rallies and processions in the varsity till further notice following alleged violence between members of the RSS-affiliated ABVP and the Left wing members.In a letter sent to Balaji, it has been said that he led a procession on October 10 "with outsiders", which was in violation of the notice issued by the varsity's registrar.He has been asked to present himself before a proctorial committee on October 22."The JNU administration has sent me a proctor notice for marching with contract workers celebrating "One Work One Pay" court judgement. The administration has lost it. First they cut salaries and harass workers and now they are wanting to punish students who are fighting with them for their rights," Balaji said.
New Delhi, Sep 19: The Congress-affiliated NSUI protested against newly elected DUSU president Ankiv Baisoya of the ABVP for allegedly submitting "fake" documents to gain admission to the varsity while the AISA claimed he was enrolled at DU's College of Vocational Studies.
The National Students' Union Of India also submitted a complaint to Delhi University's vice-chancellor to take legal action in the matter.
Meanwhile, the Left-backed All India Students' Association claimed that Baisoya was enrolled at DU's College of Vocational Studies.
AISA's DU president Kawalpreet Kaur said, "Baisoya claims to have studied at Tamil Nadu while on the other hand the official website of Delhi University's College of Vocational Studies recognises Ankiv Baisoya as a student. How in that case is he claiming to have studied at TN University even as it has declared that the degree being circulated under his name is fake?"
She said the AISA has submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Dean Of Student Welfare demanding immediate enquiry into the certificate produced by Baisoya during the time of admission.
"The complaint has been forwarded to the HoD of the Buddhist Department in which he is currently enrolled. We demand that the university admission must immediately cancel the nomination of Ankiv Baisoya and initiate a police enquiry if found to have submitted a fake degree," Kaur added.
The NSUI organised a protest at the Arts Faculty against the DU administration to reinforce its demand of proper legal action against the Baisoya's "degree scandal".
The NSUI demanded hat stringent measures must be taken to resolve this issue with their main demand being cancellation of not only the candidature and election of ABVP presidential candidate but also the revocation of his DU admission.
In response to AISA's allegations, the ABVP said, "Baisoya had enrolled in DU for graduation in 2013 but left it midway to go to Thiruvalluvar University. He got his admission cancelled in 2016."
On Tuesday, the NSUI released a letter from Thiruvalluvar University sent in response to a communication from the student's body. It stated that the BA certificate submitted by Basoya from the university is fake. (PTI)

New Delhi, Sep 15: Counting of votes for the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) polls was suspended early morning after Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) members protested alleging they were not informed about the process.
The ABVP said their counting agent was not informed about the beginning of counting of votes polled in science schools.
In a statement, the JNU Election Committee said it suspended the counting temporarily but refused to name the party which protested.
Members of Left student unions alleged that the ABVP created a ruckus. The ABVP denied the allegation.
"The counting process, which began on September 14 at 10 pm has been suspended due to forcible entry into the counting venue and attempts to snatch away the sealed ballot boxes as well as ballot papers from our counting centres," according to the JNU Election Committee.
The panel also claimed that their members, including women, faced intimidation.
The Left bloc claimed, "Around 4:00am, ABVP broke the glasses of the School of International Studies building. EC stopped the counting indefinitely."
They also claimed the ABVP counting agent was called but he did not turn up on time.
Vijay Kumar, ABVP president of JNU, said their counting agent was not called and the counting process was initiated in front of the members of the Left outfit.
"We protested peacefully as the EC is biased towards the Left. We did not create any ruckus," he said.
The voter turnout in the keenly contested Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) election on Friday was 67.8 per cent, believed to be the highest in six years. Over 5,000 students cast their votes.
The Left-backed All India Students' Association (AISA), Students' Federation of India (SFI), Democratic Students' Federation (DSF) and All India Students' Federation (AISF) have come together to form the United-Left alliance.
Besides the Left bloc, there are candidates of ABVP, NSUI (National Students' Union of India) and BAPSA (Birsa Ambedkar Phule Students Association).
Technical glitches in EVMs had led to a ruckus during the counting process for Delhi University Students' Union polls on Thursday, leading to suspension of counting for close to three hours. The counting had resumed only after parties reached a consensus. (PTI)
