New Delhi: In a twist in the JNU case, it has come to light that the University authorities flouted norms to provide hostel rooms to Umar Khalid and CPI leader and Rajya Sabha MP D Raja 's daughter Aparajita Raja .
Umar Khalid, a PhD student, whose family lives at Zakir Nagar in South Delhi, has been staying at room number 168 of the Tapti hostel, in spite of being a resident of Delhi.
D Raja's daughter Aparajita also stays at room number 261 of the Koyna hostel even though her father has been allotted bungalow on posh Rafi Marg in Lutyens’ Delhi.
According to a report in the Sunday Guardian, the students seeking hostel rooms have been divided into three priorities, P-1, P-2 and P-3. According to the manual, first priority (P-1) is given to students who are enrolled for “full-time programmes and have passed their qualifying exams from institutes outside Delhi and are not residents of Delhi.
The second priority (P-2) is given to the outstation candidates who are enrolled for a programme at a level at which the student already has a degree or has pursued studies in JNU (at the same level) with hostel accommodation, and the third (P-3) is for students of V and XI Semester MA, V Semester M.Phil, IX Semester Ph.D., local students in that order.”
