They were right in their protest as the students of NE were discriminated. Their ire is understandable. However, the point to note that there was not a single student from Assam.

�Dress code�
North-east students go berserk
From our Correspondent
NEW DELHI, June 11: Over 70 students from the North-east ransacked the premises of Kirori Mal College (KMC) on Friday. The students were protesting the alleged statement by the college�s officiating Principal Virender Kumar in favour of enforcing a dress code for girl students from the North-east.
The agitated students were joined by various groups like the Manipur Students� Union, the Assamese Students� Union of Delhi, and student unions from other States of North-east. The National Students� Union of India (NSUI) too joined the agitation.
The students ransacked the KMC offices and demanded of the Principal to retract his �statement�. Police had to be called in. The students agreed to go back only when the Principal had tendered an apology.
When asked about the matter, Kumar said that the report appeared in a section of the press regarding the �dress code� is totally baseless. "I never made such a comment. The students from the North-east are like my own sons and daughters," Kumar said, adding that he would file a defamation case against The Times of India.
