College closed after MSF protest over union chairman’s suspension
The protest had turned violent when the Principal was allegedly assaulted by students
The Hindu reports that NAM College in Kannur, Kerala, was closed on August 19 due to protests by the Muslim Students’ Federation (MSF) over the suspension of the college union chairman. The protest escalated when the Principal was allegedly assaulted by students, leading to violence and the closure of the institution. The issue arose after college union office-bearers were accused of collecting money from students for cultural programs, leading to objections from some students who were subsequently suspended by the management.
MSF activists, led by chairman Mohammed Panol and secretary Sinan, demanded the revocation of the suspensions, resulting in a tense situation that disrupted academic activities at the college.
