Randhir Kataria, president of the non-teaching association of MDU, said the state government has been making all attempts to end the autonomy of varsities.

“The government is trying to damage the structure of universities by bringing online transfer policy for their employees with non-transferable jobs,” he added.

Vinod Goyal, general secretary of Guru Jambheshwar University Teachers’ Association (GJUTA), said the director of higher education has issued a letter stating that there is no proposal to transfer university employees which seems to be a misleading statement.

“The government can adopt an offline transfer policy. If it tries to betray the varsity employees, we will hold an indefinite strike,” he added.

Indian National Student Organisation (INSO) national president Pradeep Deswal also reached MDU to extend support to the protesters.

“Jannayak Janata Party is a coalition partner of the BJP in Haryana but we stand in solidarity with the varsity employees. If the government tries to end autonomy of universities, we will not allow functioning of the varsities,” he said.

“The state government should roll back the decisions of the online transfer policy and recruitment by the HSSC at the earliest,” Deswal added.
