The Jamia Millia Islamia administration faced severe criticism on Friday after it displayed posters containing personal details of 17 students involved in recent protests. The posters, which included photographs, names, home addresses, email IDs, and educational details of the students, were pasted at five locations across the campus, including Gate No. 7. The move sparked outrage among students and activists, who called it a blatant violation of privacy.

The posters were put up early Friday morning but were removed by the evening following strong opposition from student groups. The students, who were recently suspended for their involvement in protests, alleged that the administration’s actions were aimed at defaming them.

“If the purpose was to prevent us from entering the campus, they could have simply put up our names and pictures. But why disclose our home addresses and phone numbers? Many of us are now receiving calls from unknown numbers. This is a clear violation of our privacy,” said one of the affected students, who wished to remain anonymous.
