कलाडी में निलंबित एसएफआई कार्यकर्ताओं ने बैनर प्रदर्शन किया और 13 अगस्त को हुए कैंपस विवादों के लिए माफ़ी मांगने से इनकार कर दिया, जिससे 'शून्य सहनशीलता' नीति पर उनकी रुख स्पष्ट हुआ।
A group of suspended Students' Federation of India (SFI) activists staged a banner protest in Kalady, Kerala, to voice their dissent against the administration's stance on recent campus unrest. The demonstration was organized to highlight the activists' refusal to issue an apology for the violent incidents that took place on the campus on August 13.
The protest comes in the wake of statements by Roji M. John, who emphasized a 'zero tolerance' policy against violence on educational campuses. The suspended activists used the banner protest to declare that they would not tender an apology for their actions during the August 13 clashes, asserting their right to protest and disagree with the administrative measures taken against them.
The incident has drawn attention to the ongoing tensions between student unions and college administrations in Kerala regarding the handling of campus disputes. The SFI activists' refusal to apologize has further polarized the situation, with the administration maintaining its strict stance on maintaining peace and order within educational institutions.
No further details were provided regarding the specific demands of the protesters beyond the refusal to apologize, but the event underscores the continued friction between student political bodies and institutional authorities in the region.
