A spate of violence, demonstrations, and political tensions at universities has led to widespread concern about the welfare of students and the state of the country
“We will hold discussions with everyone and then announce what action will be taken or what programme will be held,” a student protester says
Protesters say they suspended the movement after assurances but warned it could resume if promises are not kept
The university and the district administrations are blaming each other over the students' six-point list of demands
The protesters have demanded an apology from the vice-chancellor
The protesters are pushing for a four-point list of demands, including justice over an attack on the protests
10 people, including students and the media, were injured in an attack by outsiders after 200 teaching and admin staff were blocked from leaving an auditorium
