Jamia Millia Islamia has postponed all semester exams scheduled today
Jamia Millia Islamia has postponed all the semester exams scheduled today, i.e. on December 14 over the ongoing protests against the controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB).
"All the semester exams scheduled today have been postponed," a senior varsity official said.
While the exams remain postponed with the University informing that new dates will be announced soon, the University has also declared winter vacations starting from coming Monday, i.e. December 16.
The University will remain closed till January 5, 2020 and will resume classes thereafter, on January 6, 2020.
The university witnessed clashes between students and policemen as students tried to march to Parliament in protest against the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB).
Following the clashes on Friday, students had called for a University lock down and decided to boycott the semester exams on Saturday.
"We left the exam in middle and cancelled it. Jamia will also raise voice if anything wrong happens to our nation. We have boycott the classes and exams. We will march again and again for our rights," said 25-year-old Nihal Ashraf.
Wjahat (22), a student of BA Political Science, said, "on Friday, the Delhi Police brutally attacked us while we were marching and many students got injuries during the assault. They used baton and tear gas against students. We have boycotted the exam," reported news agency PTI.
"Everyone wants to live. This is not Israel or Syria. We should learn from Bangladesh that how they killed the extremism and opted for an economic democracy. The government is not focusing on the main issues," said Pappu Yadav, another student.
