The Panjab University these days is the hot bed of student agitation. Every year when student elections are in the pipeline, leaders need some grudges and complaints in order to take political mileage. Students of Girls Hostel number four are sitting in dharna in order to protest against certain issues they are unhappy about. During human interaction, such situations are common enough. The committee appointed to look into the dharna is chaired by Prof. Deepti Gupta, Dean, International Students. When asked about the situation, Prof. Gupta said, “Mild disagreement is common within large groups. The unfortunate aspect is the manner in which vested interests play a negative role under these circumstances.” During the student dharna opposite the VC residence, for instance, instead of contributing positively to the effort of resolving matters, PUTA chose to crib and complain pettily about the obstruction in traffic in the PU residential area, she added.
