According to Pradip Poudyal, the president of Nepal Students´ Union (NSU), they will hand over a memorandum to Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal and Education Minister Ram Chandra Kushwaha apart from waving black flags and holding mass meetings in all colleges on November 24.
They will start distributing admission forms to students in all colleges from November 25. “This program aims to prevent students from turning to other colleges,” Poudyal said. “We will be requesting students to fill up forms at same old fees-structure.”
On November 26, they will hold a one-hour sit-in in front of offices of campus chiefs in all colleges. They will hold demonstration and stage sit-in at TU vice chancellor Madhav Sharma´s office on the last day of the protest. “We will demand resignations of all top TU officials if fee hike decision is not rolled back by the end of our five-day protest,” Poudyal said.
However, student unions have said they would continue talks with TU officials and stir side by side. The student unions said they had to announce protests abruptly as TU officials did not invite them for talks Monday.
But, TU rubbished unions´ claims. “We called student leaders for meeting in the morning but they said they had other meetings,” Ganga Thapa, who has been coordinating meetings with unions on behalf of TU, said. “We called them again in the afternoon but they said they were holding press meets.”
