halls of residence for staging a peaceful protest against the
rustication of a student (Mote)…because he participated in a peaceful
protest in one of the halls (Independence Hall) and poor state of
electric and water supply, UItes have also decided to stay back in
school. We don't have any plan of going anywhere!"
