HYDERABAD: NALSAR University students are standing firm in their demand that Chief Justice of India Surya Kant not be the chief guest at their convocation. Supported by alumni and members of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), the students maintain their stance despite not planning to boycott the event or ask the university to withdraw the CJI's invitation.
The students first raised their concerns on August 9, sending a representation to the vice-chancellor against inviting the CJI. They objected to the Supreme Court's initial refusal to hear petitions on police brutality during a CJP protest in Delhi's Jantar Mantar.
Alumni members support the students' demand, stating that it is a justified request to their own administration and vice-chancellor. As a gold medallist and activist, Akhil Surya emphasized that the NALSAR norm should be reconsidered, but not disrespectful to the CJI's office. Others, like CJP protester Ruchith Asha Kamal, echoed the students' perspective, saying they would not have attended the university if the current CJI had been the chief guest.
