Their key demands included scrapping the “non-democratic” vetting committee, dissolving the panel reviewing affiliation of Haryana colleges, halting the PUCSC constitution and SOP until consultations with student groups, withdrawing the civil suit filed against student bodies, cancelling FIRs registered during last year’s Senate election protests, and dropping the inquiry against Prof. Kulwinder Singh and Prof. Sudhir Mehra.

Before the decision, PU Bachao Morcha held marches across all hostels, raising slogans such as “Mitti Dhun Rabab Di, Punjab University Punjab Di.” Students from rural areas celebrated by organising a tractor march across campus.
