No, Universities in democracies have student unions. Your government filed sedition cases against those students who raised voice for student unions.DONT TRY TO PRETEND THAT YOU’RE ALL FOR CAMPUS DEMOCRACY. WE HAVENT REALLY FORGOTTEN WHAT YOU DID TO STUDENTS!
You silly convict-on-bail, universities in democracies call political leaders & it is good that GCU invited the most popular national leader to interact with students. You cannot stop Khan's popular support by your fascist moves. Maybe a Uni can invite a convict like u too!
