Rajya Sabha MP and CPI leader Binoy Viswam wrote to the acting president of South Asian University (SAU) Tuesday expressing his “disgust” and “anguish” at the mandatory general undertaking that was recently introduced for newly admitted students.
On July 29, The Indian Express first reported on SAU asking students who have been admitted in the new academic session to sign an “undertaking” declaring that they will neither join any agitation or strike nor participate in any activity that has a “tendency to disturb peace” on the campus. It had also asked them to declare that they are not suffering from any “psychiatric or psychological disorder”.
