NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 14: Mahatma Gandhi Antarashtriya Hindi Viswavidyalaya (MGAHV) in Wardha, Maharashtra has revoked the expulsion order of the six students who wrote to the prime minister.
Hundreds of Wardha University students had participated in an open letter campaign on October 10 in which they wrote to the prime minister seeking his intervention to stop the rising cases of mob lynching and to resolve the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Among the participating students, six were singled out and served with expulsion orders by the university on the same day out of which three were Dalits while the other three belonged to the OBC category. Chandan Saroj, Vaibhav Pimpalkar, Rajneesh Kumar, Rajesh Yadav, Neeraj Kumar and Pankaj Kumar have been called back by the university.
The order had stated that the students were “expelled for breaking the 2019 assembly election code of conduct and interfering in the judicial process".
The university, in an order published on October 13, notified the students that they are being called back due to “technical discrepancies” in the initial order and “ Keeping in mind natural justice of students and researchers”.
The initial expulsion order had been issued by Rajeswar Singh who was in charge only for October 10 as Khadar Nawaz Khan, the Acting Registrar, was on leave.
