The varsity's student union will hold a protest march from Mandi House at 12 pm on Thursday.

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, former JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar appealed people to join the march to protest against mob violence.
"Hey Delhi, it's your turn now to show your solidarity with the Students of India. Let's march together against mob violence and in defense of inclusive public education. Please come with posters in your hand and love in your heart for all our fellow-citizens. See you tomorrow." Kanhaiya Kumar wrote.
On January 5, a masked mob entered the varsity and attacked the students with sticks and rods in which more than 30 students, including the JNUSU president were injured and taken to the AIIMS Trauma Centre.
Two separate FIRs have been filed against Ghosh for allegedly vandalizing the server room of JNU and for attacking staff members.
