Delhi saw JNU's Students Union protest since October 28 after the University increased the hostel's fees. They were also protesting against the curfew timings and dress code at the hostel.
Students from the Jawaharlal Nehru University took to the streets to protest over the 300% fee hike. The protest began after the University's hostel saw an increase in its fee, which has not been revised in over a decade. The registrar justified this development by saying that the university has been paying the electricity and other miscellaneous expenses from the University grants. They said that the fee hike will help them in upgrading the hostel. Students protested against JNU fee hike stating that most of the students come from lower-income families and increasing the fee will impact them badly. As a result of the hike, students will have to pay Rs. 600 per month rent for a single room against the earlier Rs. 20 per month and for a double-sharing room Rs. 300 per month from Rs. 10 per month.
Here is how people reacted at the JNU fee hike:
#ShutDownJNU. My tax money shudnt be spent on these privileged freeloaders assholes. JNU has become d centre of breeding for anti natnl forces, tukde tukde gang, Bharat ki barbadi tak jang rahegi. We get anti national product like Kanhaiya frm JNU at the cost of tax payers money.

most deserving and educated , the " most brainy " ones who cracked the entrances are manhandling CRPF and keeping a prof in confinement shouting slogans. Are you kidding me ?

#ShutDownJNU is a genuine demand. Govt should consider this proposal to save the tax payers hard earned money and govt revenue that got generated by burning holes in the pocket

#ShutDownJNU as these students continue to point out your bigotry and privilege in the face of laathis, barricades and water cannons. JNU will not stop fighting for the right to education. #jnuprotests because you, my fellow Indians, have forgotten how to. pic.twitter.com/AJU464JlzX
