NSUI leaders said the protest would continue until their demands are addressed. NSUI Rajasthan unit president Manish Meghwal said student union elections have remained suspended in the state since 2022.
"Student union elections have been stalled in Rajasthan since 2022, and this state government has become completely deaf and blind. The voice of students is being continuously suppressed, and a baton charge was unleashed on our comrades who were peacefully demonstrating at Jantar Mantar in Delhi", NSUI Jaipur unit President Manish Meghwal said.
"To wake this government up and force it to accept our legitimate demands, students are now being forced to take such extreme steps. Until the government makes a positive decision to restore student union elections, our agitation and protest will not stop", he said.
The NSUI has been demanding the revival of student union elections and has been protesting against the alleged use of force during the Jantar Mantar demonstration. (ANI)
