A referendum conducted by the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) has shown overwhelming opposition to Vice Chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit, with 90.54% of participating students voting against her continuation in office.

On March 10, a total of 2,409 students participated in the referendum, with 2,181 votes cast against the Vice Chancellor and only 207 in her favor. Additionally, 21 votes were declared invalid. This referendum has been framed by JNUSU as a democratic exercise to gauge student opinion regarding Pandit’s leadership.

The tensions leading to this referendum have been escalating since early February, following the suspension of four JNUSU office-bearers. Protests on campus have been fueled by allegations of administrative corruption and controversial remarks made by Pandit, including her statement that “Dalits and Blacks are drugged with victimhood.”

These protests have resulted in significant unrest, with more than 50 students detained and 14 arrested during demonstrations. The atmosphere on campus has been charged, as students express their dissatisfaction with the current administration.

However, the legitimacy of the referendum has been called into question. A group of students and faculty members has rejected the JNUSU’s process as not legally sound, raising concerns about the transparency and democratic nature of the vote. Christhu Doss, a student leader, questioned the independence of the election process, asking, “Who was the independent election commission or election commissioner who monitored this so-called referendum to make it transparent, democratic, legal and acceptable?”

In contrast, Aditi Mishra, another student leader, defended the referendum’s validity, stating, “It is very sad that the legitimacy of an elected student body has been repeatedly questioned. The referendum conducted by JNUSU is absolutely valid, all due process was followed.”

The university, which has around 9,000 students enrolled across various disciplines, is now at a crossroads as it navigates the fallout from the referendum and ongoing protests.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact date for announcing the referendum results, and the controversy surrounding its legitimacy continues to unfold.
