Ever since we got elected to the Delhi University Students Union, the Vice Chancellor has not given us a hearing, DUSU president and NSUI member Rocky Tuseed alleged, after he was allegedly restricted from entering the 96th Foundation Day celebrations of the university yesterday.

Yesterday, Tuseed alleged that security guards and Delhi Police personnel

did not allow him in when he tried to enter the venue.

"It is the absolute limit of anarchy and great display of authoritarianism. I, under my personal capacity as a student, was going to take part in the event. Later, I had planned to meet the Vice Chancellor (Yogesh K Tyagi) of our university for a simple audience to speak to him about the important issues concerning students," he said.

 

"But the security guards and Delhi Police pulled me out without citing any reasons. Neither have we received any invitation to any programme, nor were we given an appointment to meet the VC," he added.

The event at Viceregal lodge was attended by former Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, CBI Director Alok Kumar Verma, Additional Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister Pramod Kumar Mishra.

DU Registrar Tarun Das was not available for the university's reaction and Proctor Neeta Sehgal refused comment on yesterday's incident.

The students body president also showed the e-mails that he claimed he has sent to the Vice Chancellor from December last year seeking an appointment.

The DUSU has four central panel posts. Tuseed was elected president in the polls held in September last year.
