IIT Roorkee warns students against political movement

IIT Roorkee issued an advisory on July 20 warning students against joining a 'political movement'.

The advisory came amid student-led protests across India demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Protests were triggered by examination-related controversies, including alleged paper leaks and delays.

The institute later issued a clarification, stating the advisory was not meant to curb dissent.

The controversy highlights tensions between campus activism and institutional policies.
