Patna,(BiharTimes): There is no sign of any early end to the hunger strike by the students of Chanakya National Law University (CNLU) even as it completed six days on Saturday. The condition of some of the 13 students deteriorated due to excessive heat and other factors. They had to be rushed to the hospital for treatment. |
All attempts by students to get their demand accepted by the chief minister Nitish Kumar have failed to yield any result. Even the attempt of the VC, A Lakshminath, to facilitate the meeting have failed to yield any result.
The chairman of Bar Council of Bihar, Baleshwar Prasad Sharma, met the law minister Narendra Narain Yadav on Saturday and submitted a letter suggesting ways to end the deadlock.
Sharma said that the students can be accommodated as junior lawyers, assistants to senior advocates and in Lok Adalats.
But the students are not too much impressed by such moves. They are not interested in the visit of four companies, one of them Delhi-based MG's Legal Chambers. They visited the university in recent days after the students went on warpath.
The VC now says that since the companies are coming for campus placement, there is no rationale behind students trying to meet the chief minister.
But the students are of the view that they are not just keen to see the chief minister as they met him in Janata Darbar on April 11 itself. What they want is their placement in good firm and till now not a single one has come to the campus. They alleged that all these are an eyewash meant to hoodwink them and break their unity.
The firms which the VC is saying have visited the CNLU campus are not of a satisfactory nature and offers salary of Rs 7,000 or so, the students say. They have not spent over Rs one million and five years for such job or become junior lawyer.
Meanwhile, a group of five students––Lakshmi Nath, Tarikh Shamim, Hemant Verma, Richa Jha and Seema Chaudhary––replaced the 13 students and sat on relay hunger strike.
