Mayawati has confirmed in a tweet that she will not be a part of the meeting.
Moreover, reports said Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has decided to stay away from the meeting.
After holding a meeting on Saturday, the CWC in a statement said, “A concerted attack on Constitution, rampant unemployment, commercialization of education, unprecedented fee hikes and autocratic refusal to listen to voice and concerns of youth-students have led to spontaneous protests across the colleges and university campuses.”
“Hence, a designed conspiracy has been unleashed to attack the centres of creative and independent thinking i.e. colleges and universities,” it said.
