Withdraw extension given to VC: NSUI

The NSUI continued its hunger strike for the second day, demanding retraction of the extension given to HPU VC Sikandar Kumar. According to the NSUI, Kumar held two offices simultaneously by being the chairman of BJP's SC Front even as he was a professor in the HPU.
