Students Protest Affidavit Rule at Panjab University
Students at Panjab University are upset about a new rule.
The university is making students sign a paper (an affidavit) that says they need permission to protest.
The students think this is unfair because it limits their right to speak up.
Many students, including some with visual impairments, gathered to show they disagree.
The new rule says protests must happen far from important offices and breaking the rule could lead to getting kicked out of school.
The students want the university to change this rule.
Students protested against an affidavit requiring prior permission for protests.
The protest took place outside the Panjab University Vice-Chancellor’s office.
Over 300 students participated, including visually impaired individuals.
The affidavit restricts the right to protest under Article 19.
Violations of the affidavit's terms may result in severe penalties.
