JNU Students' Union Protests Hostel's Food Segregation
Some students at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) are upset because they were told to sit separately in the hostel mess based on the food they eat.
The students' union, called JNUSU, says this is not fair and is trying to divide people.
They believe that a student group, ABVP, is behind this, trying to change the university's welcoming atmosphere.
The JNUSU is protesting and has complained to the university officials, who have promised to look into the matter.
The ABVP, however, denies they were involved and claims students made this decision themselves.
JNUSU protested against food-based segregation in Mahi-Mandavi Hostel at JNU.
Vegetarian and non-vegetarian students were allegedly asked to sit separately.
JNUSU called the segregation a divisive measure.
The JNUSU accused ABVP of attempting to saffronise the campus.
ABVP denied the allegations, stating the decision was made by students.
