The document issued by the IITB registrar said "while the institute encourages free and open discussion on educational subjects, it must also remain apolitical in its endeavours", and therefore, "'it is imperative our students, faculty members and staff stay away from activities/events that may invite socio-political controversies, diverting IIT-Bombay from its primary mission, or may bring disrepute to the institute." The rules come in the wake of PhD student Omkar Supekar, complaining to the police about a guest lecture on the Palestine situation that he found "inflammatory".
