Teachers at Jamia Millia Islamia have voiced strong opposition to the occupation of two departmental buildings by outsiders, alleging political interference amid the ongoing dispute over restoring the student union.
Jamia Millia Islamia faculty members have publicly condemned the recent takeover of two departmental buildings by individuals they describe as outsiders. The teachers say the intrusion disrupts academic activities and raises concerns about the security of campus premises.
The faculty collective linked the incident to what they perceive as political interference, noting that it coincides with a heated debate over the restoration of the university's student union. They argue that external forces are being used to influence the outcome of the union controversy.
University officials have not yet issued a detailed response, but the administration is expected to address the teachers' grievances and investigate the alleged unauthorized occupation.
The incident adds another layer of tension to the broader campus unrest, which has seen students, staff, and political groups vying for influence over the university's governance structures.
Stakeholders are awaiting clarification from the Jamia administration regarding the status of the occupied buildings and any corrective measures that may be taken.
