The NEHUSU members were visibly unhappy when the VPP leaders emerged along with Vice Chancellor Prabha Shankar Shukla from his chamber.
NEHUSU president Sandy Sohtun charged forward when the VPP leaders asked the agitating students to gather for an address by the VC. “We do not want any outside force to interfere into our internal matters,” he warned.
The NEHUSU president asked the VPP leaders to leave the university campus, warning that they would lock the campus and prevent anyone from move outside, forcing the VPP leaders to make a hurried exit.
