KOZHIKODE: The suspension of the student who protested at NIT Calicut on the day of Prana Pratishtha of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya has been lifted. The suspension of Vaishakh, a fourth-year student of Electronics and Telecommunication, was lifted until a hearing was called on his appeal.

Vaishakh had been suspended for one year. The authorities decided to reconsider the suspension of Vaisakh following a huge protest organised by students yesterday in front of the NIT gate.

On the day of the Prana Pratishta, a protest was organised on the campus under the leadership of the Spirituality and Science Club.
A conflict broke out during the protest. The disciplinary committee of NIT had conducted an inquiry into the incident. It was on the basis of this report that Vaishakh was suspended for one year. Meanwhile, Calicut NIT was closed till Sunday following student protests.
