00:00More breaking news coming at this point. Jamia students have ended their hunger strike after the registrar met them and
00:07assured them that the date of the student union elections will be held soon.
00:11And the formation of the student constitution has also been assured. Jamia Millia Islamia is set to hold student elections
00:18by August last week of 2027.
00:21This is the big breaking news that we're tracking at this point. Student bodies elections will resume at Jamia Millia
00:26Islamia after two whole decades.
00:29All ongoing show course notices and disciplinary actions as well as suspensions and campus ban orders in participation in the
00:36process will also be revoked.
00:39Jamia Millia Islamia will also resume offline classes and examinations from Monday, that is November the 2nd.
00:45Remember, offline classes have been suspended at Jamia for the past few days amid the ongoing agitation.
00:51And this comes as a big breaking news at this point because this was one of the sticking points in
00:57the negotiations so far.
00:59And that has now been given by the registrar. Assurance has been given by the registrar at this point.
01:07And we also have Anmol Bali joining us on this.
01:11But before that, listen in to reactions from some of the students at Jamia was celebrating this big sort of
01:18development that they have been calling out for.
01:50We have Anmol Bali.
01:51Anmol Bali joining us on the story for more details.
01:54Anmol, this has remained a major sticking point in the settlement procedure earlier.
02:00They had been, students at Jamia had been calling for student union elections to be resumed.
02:05And this was a major demand that has now finally been met.
02:08What more can you tell us?
02:10Yeah, after 20 years, again, we will see that Jamia Melia Islamia will see student elections because this is a
02:16big win for protesting students.
02:18The university has agreed to a key demand saving the way for the student union election.
02:22The Jamia Melia Islamia Students Union Constitution to be implemented by May 15.
02:29And the elections will be held within six weeks of starting of academic session.
02:33Means by the last week of August 2027, we can see student union elections taking place in Jamia Melia Islamia
02:40University after 20 years.
02:41And all ongoing show calls notices, disciplinary actions and investigation suspension and campus ban orders related to participation in the
02:50protests are also revolved by the university administration.
02:54And we are also seeing that amid the protests, the university has shifted the physical classes to the offline mode.
03:00And now, according to a new order, the classes will resume by November 2.
03:04But keeping the Diwali holidays in mind, the university will resume now.
03:08They have classes on November 8 after the Diwali holidays.
03:12So this is a big victory for the Jamia Islamia University students because we have seen that for the last
03:2018 days, they were protesting.
03:22Two to five students were on the hunger strike.
03:24We have also seen that around five to six students were detained by the Delhi police.
03:28And now this came as a big victory for the students of the Jamia Melia Islamia University because we have
03:35seen that the deadlock has intensified between the students last week.
03:39We have also seen that the university has agreed for the election.
03:44Then we have seen that students have again resumed their protest saying that they want to date.
03:48This is a big victory for the students at this point.
03:51But where does the agitation go from here on?
03:53Does this sort of pave way for an end to the agitation at Jamia?
03:59The students are now called off their hunger strike after the registrar met them, assured them of a timeline for
04:06the student union elections.
04:08The now protest is over.
04:10They have called off their hunger strike.
04:12And now we can again see the academic work, academic activities again coming back on normalization in the campus.
04:21Absolutely.
04:21Thank you, Anmol, for those details.
04:23So this is the development coming at this point.
04:25Student union elections will be held at Jamia next year.
04:29By August of 2027, Jamia will see student union elections after two decades.
04:34And resumption of offline classes is also a big development.
04:38And that's all that's what it looks like.
04:38We are continuing to continue to divide at the new client.
04:41This was bringing them to the white nursing school.
