Political Storm Over UGC Anti-Discrimination Rules; Protests Spread Across States
A major political controversy has erupted over the UGC's new anti-discrimination regulations, with students from upper-caste communities staging protests across several states, including outside the UGC headquarters in Delhi. Critics argue the rules could create chaos on campuses, while petitions challenging the definition of caste-based discrimination have been filed in the Supreme Court. The row has intensified with the Uttar Pradesh government suspending former Bareilly City Magistrate Alankar Agnihotri for calling the guidelines a "black law," a move he plans to challenge in court.
