Left groups, others demand Saibaba’s release from jail
Several Left organisations at Delhi University organised a protest meeting on the North Campus on Wednesday to demand the immediate release of Professor G. N. Saibaba, who was arrested earlier this month by the Maharashtra Police for alleged Maoist links. He was also suspended from his teaching post shortly thereafter.
The participants included his wife Vasantha; University Teachers’ Association president Prof. Nandita Narain; students and teachers of Ram Lal Anand College (where Prof. Saibaba taught); Delhi University Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Employees’ Union general secretary Amar Singh and Prof. Vikas Gupta of disability rights group Sambhavna. They were demanding his immediate release from solidarity confinement in a Nagpur jail and that police interference in the University must stop.
