New Delhi: Chintu Kumari,ex JNU students union General Secretary alleged that the varsity has refused to give her MPhil degree in connection with a controversial event on 9th February during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised at JNU Campus.

She is pursuing PhD in Political Science. She was found “guilty” of violating disciplinary norms by the JNU probe panel investigating the event against the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

University officials said that certain protocols are to be followed when any matter is being investigated but maintained that they need to check details of the particular case reported Times of India.

While Chintu Kumari was issued a show-cause notice following completion of the inquiry by the five-member high-level committee, she was not among the eight students who were debarred from academic activities pending an inquiry reported.

“Today I went to collect my MPhil marksheet and I was informed by the administration that my degree and mark-sheets have been blocked by the Chief Proctor’s Office in connection with the February 9 incident,” Chintu alleged.

“The biased probe panel has so far not substantiated its decision of taking action on the eight students of which I was not even a part. Such arbitrary decisions by the administration are putting the future of many students at stake,” she added.

The JNU row has evoked nationwide attention following the alleged antinational slogan raised during an event organised to protest the hanging of Afzal Guru.Following the event JNU president Kanhaiya Kumar had been arrested and later Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya too were arrested but later released on bail
