Tamil Nadu Government Revokes Order Restricting Student Protests

The Tamil Nadu government officially withdrew a controversial circular within 24 hours that sought to bar students from participating in protests organized by Left-wing groups and the CJP.

The initial order, issued by the Collegiate Education Department, had sparked widespread backlash from student unions and political opposition, labeling it an infringement on democratic rights.

Following the reversal, the state administration clarified that students retain their constitutional right to peaceful assembly, effectively ending the standoff between the government and student bodies.
