Yes, it is indeed shocking for all of us. The university which was known for it's radicle aproach for the persons with disability so far, is taking a reverse stand which is simply anti disabled. Since i am not aware about the manner in which JNU was implementing the 3 % reservation for the disabled persons in admitions, in the past, people like Tara, Vetri or Yogesh who happened to spend alot of time in JNU might throw a light on it. However, i am pretty much clear that it must be fought with utmost vigour.
