Upon the inquiry the Vice Chancellor explained current situation at the University to which the President had requested him to pardon the students.

“Students make mistakes. They shouldn’t have taken the law into their hands, which is unacceptable but the entire student community should not suffer because of the actions of a few. Therefore reopen the university paying heed to the needs of the majority of the students and their education,” he said.
