The All India Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has kept a sit‑in protest alive at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi for a total of 180 hours. The demonstration, which began earlier this week, has now entered its eighth day, drawing attention from students and observers across the capital.
Organisers have maintained that the protest reflects their concerns over campus issues, and they have chosen a continuous sit‑in as their method of expression. The protest site remains within the university premises, with participants rotating shifts to sustain the demonstration.
University authorities have reported that the protest is ongoing, but no further details on negotiations or outcomes have been released. The ABVP’s prolonged presence underscores the heightened activism on Indian campuses in recent months.
The situation continues to be monitored by both the university administration and local law‑enforcement agencies to ensure that the protest remains peaceful and does not disrupt academic activities.
