A day after the report of High Level Enquiry Committee constituted by JNU administration to probe the alleged raising of 'anti-national' slogans on February 9 was made public, a barrage of questions and doubts over the legitimacy and claims have come up against the conclusions of the committee. While the JNU students union' haven't stated their official position on the report as of now, JNUSU General Secretary Rama Naga told ScoopWhoop that the union will come up with a position after proper deliberations and meeting of all office bearers and councillors. He, however, made it clear that the questions over the formation and representative character of the committee to investigate the February 9 incident will be one of the deciding factors of the union's position.

On March 3, a fact-finding report by Delhi government on JNU incident had given a clean chit to JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar and arrested student Umar Khalid. The fact-finding report had also questioned the veracity of evidence after one of the security guards retracted his statement that he had heard Umar Khalid shouting slogans like Bandook se lenge azaadi and Indian Army murdabad.

Professor Ayesha Kidwai from JNU's Centre for Linguistics told ScoopWhoop that the entire enquiry process and report has violated the principles of natural justice with impunity.

"This report is as much a travesty as the whole enquiry process has been, in which the principles of natural justice were violated with impunity. The show-cause notices are completely non-specific. Shockingly, the report goes into aspects that are sub judice, and uses as its basis contradictory or disputed testimony," Professor Ayesha told ScoopWhoop over mail.
