A lunch meeting with a central government officer scheduled at Jamia Millia Islamia was cancelled, after a section of Kashmiri students at the varsity refused to take part in it, a university official said on Tuesday.

Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik had sanctioned Rs 1 lakh each to liaison officers to organise Eid festivities for students from the state who are studying in different cities and were unable to go home on the occasion, a Raj Bhavan spokesperson had said on Friday.

A varsity official on Tuesday said, "The lunch which was to be hosted by Deputy Director Information Jammu and Kashmir in Jamia Millia Islamia on August 14 stands cancelled."
