Microblogging site Twitter on Tuesday suspended the account of All India Students Association’s (AISA) Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) unit ahead of their online campaign demanding immediate cancellation of online examinations in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ahead of their scheduled Twitter campaign at 6 pm on Tuesday using #JamiaAgainstExams, Twitter suspended the official handle of AISA’s JMI unit without giving any reason. However, the account was restored much later in the day.
AISA’s JMI unit was demanding an alternative mode of assessment instead of holding examinations for promoting the students amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Students who took part in the online protest said that holding online exams amidst the grave COVID crisis can be problematic for many of them and hence the JMI administration should cancel the examination. The students said that they are also concerned about their mental and physical health.
The students said that they were unhappy over the suspension of the AISA JMI unit’s Twitter account.
The JMI administration is all set to conduct the examination from June 4, 2021. The students affiliated with AISA have been frequently tweeting against the decision of the university to hold online examinations amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the students, not only Delhi but also several other states are still suffering due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic and the faculties are also not in a position to conduct the examination.
