JNUSU Demands VC's Resignation Over 'Casteist' Remarks on UGC Rules

• Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) condemned alleged “blatantly casteist statements” by VC Shantisree Dhulipudi Pandit.
• The controversy stems from a 52-minute podcast where the VC discussed UGC regulations, JNUSU rustication, and the university's image.
• JNUSU demanded the VC's resignation, citing her remarks about not progressing by 'playing the victim card' as casteist.
• VC Pandit refuted the allegations, stating her comments were taken out of context and that she herself is from an OBC background.
• JNUSU called for a national protest day on February 21, urging students and organizations to demand the VC's resignation.
