Kolkata, Oct 13 (IBNS): Jadavpur University students continued their demonstrations as the institute opened after the puja vacation Monday.

 Students came to the university and continued their demonstration inside the campus. The General Body (GB) of protesting students took part in a discussion and have decided to continue their movement and class-boycott.

They arranged a protest march, which started from the main administrative building of JU, Arabinda Bhaban, and ended at Jadavpur 8B bus stand.

After the rally they burned the effigy of Jadavpur University vice-chancellor Avijit Chakraborty.

Chakraborty did not come to the university on Monday.

On other side, the Left supported non-teaching staffs' association of JU organized a protest rally inside the campus on Monday and a delegation from the Jadavpur University Teachers Association (JUTA) met the state education minister Partha Chatterjee at West Bengal Legislative Assembly and demanded a suitable end of this situation.

Partha Chatterjee requested the protesting students to stop boycott classes and their movement.

He urged them to take part in a discussion.

But the JU protesters have rejected the proposal.
