Indian MP seeks presidential intervention as JNU hunger strike enters 17th day

Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas has requested presidential intervention in the ongoing JNU students' hunger strike, now in its 17th day, over the administration's alleged failure to address longstanding student concerns. The strike, which began October 3, reflects sustained campus unrest in India's premier university, though specific demands remain unspecified. The move signals political escalation of a localized dispute into a national political issue.
