The protesting students also demanded the resignation of the Indraprastha College for Women principal Poonam Kumria. They said that "the rally was taken out to protest the apathetic IPCW and DU administrations which have colluded to repress the movement of women students instead of taking immediate action in the matter".
"AISA along with more than 300 students marched the length of north campus demanding justice to IPCW," said Delhi AISA President Abhigyan.
The protesting students submitted a memorandum to the DU Vice-Chancellor demanding the dismissal of the IPCW principal. In a statement, KYC said, "It should be noted that instead of taking immediate action on the demands of the protesting women students and activists, the DU and IPCW administrations have hitherto been adamant in their apathy."
"The IPCW administration has formed a so-called disciplinary committee and has asked students to come forward with their complaints. It is alleged that the committee is intimidating students and teachers and victimizing the students who are steering the movement against IPCW administration," it added.
