Delhi University Issued a Notice to Rahul Gandhi for His ‘Unauthorized’ Hostel Visit

NEW DELHI: Rahul Gandhi on May 5 visited Delhi University Post-Graduate Men’s Hostel, interacted with students, and had lunch with them. However, after the visit, the provost of the Delhi University Post-Graduate Men’s Hostel, sent a two-page notice to Rahul Gandhi stating "Such conduct from a leader of a National Party who has Z-plus security is beyond dignity".

According to the notice, it further said that such a sudden visit without prior notice is irresponsible behavior by Mr. Gandhi. As mentioned by the provost, the Handbook of Information and Rules of the Hostel has clearly mentioned that "No resident shall indulge in any activity in the Hostel premises other than academic and residents council activities."

The student wing of the Congress, the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), on Tuesday, suspected that the administration was under pressure to take action against Gandhi.

"The Management Committee of the Hostel in its emergent meeting held on 06.05.2023 in the presence of Dean Students' Welfare and Proctor of the University of Delhi has unanimously decided and resolved that such a conduct from a leader of a National Party who has Z-plus security is beyond dignity," the notice mentioned.

It further said, "The Hostel is governed by the University of Delhi Act, 1922 and its Statutes, Ordinances, Regulations and its own 'Rules of Residence', 'Rules regarding Dining Hal' and 'Guests' for the smooth functioning and welfare of its resident students' and for maintaining proper discipline."

"Needless to mention the Administration of the Hostel reserves the right to stop any activity which according to the administration goes against the prescribed rules. As an important part of the maintenance of proper discipline in the hostel, it is clearly stipulated in Rule 15.13 of the Handbook of Information and Rules of the Hostel." As per the official notification.
