The JNU students' union (JNUSU) on Thursday alleged that the administration withdrew the permission for a convention organised to highlight the varsity's contributions to India. Today, while the JNU VC led administration, after destroying the university, organised a photo-op convocation in the name of distribution of degrees of research scholars ' the JNUSU gave a call for a convention celebrating the contributions of JNU towards India, the students' body said in a statement.

The JNU administration denied permission for holding the 'Save JNU Convention' at School of Social Science (SSS)-I auditorium citing "frivolous" reasons, it said. Dubbing the move a "shameful and disgraceful act", the JNUSU claimed this happened after all the required processes were completed and the forms submitted to the administration.
