I can give you any number of examples. One example is, Jyothermayi, who actually stood first in the PG entrance examination for Economics, has been asked to bring five certificates from his respectable neighbours. Another student from Bihar has been asked to bring a Conduct Certificate. The police entered a marriage ceremony and harassed the students.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tSir, parents of another student, Arun from Kerala were questiond by the Police agencies. Are we having a Police Raj here? So, I urge upon the Government, especially the hon. Minister of Human Resource Development, Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi to look into this matter and order an enquiry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lok Sabha Debates Need To Enquire Alleged Harassment Of The Jnu Students By The Police. on 16 March, 2000 PROF.
