A member of an agitating group of students of Himachal Pradesh University, who have been sitting on a relay hunger strike, today "fainted" after which he was rushed to a hospital, the SFI wing of the varsity claimed.
Satish Kumar, a post-graduate student of Himachal Pradesh University, fainted during the strike and was taken to the varsity's health centre, prompting SFI activists to block a road in the campus.
He was then referred to Indira Gandhi Medical College and was in a bad condition, an SFI release claimed.
The activists have been sitting on a relay hunger strike for the past 30 days pressing for reversal of the rustication of seven students by the varsity and a roll-back of fee hike, among other demands.
The secretary of campus unit of SFI, Vipin Sharma alleged that the Vice Chancellor was adopting "anti-student policies" and victimising the party's workers.
He cautioned that no administrative officer of the University would be allowed to enter the campus in case "anything wrong happens" to the sick student.
