Hindu Groups Protest MBBS Admissions in Jammu, Demand Quota

Jammu, December 27, 2025 – Dozens of protesters, led by the newly formed Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Sangharsh Samiti, took to the streets of Jammu today, demanding the revocation of the MBBS admission list for the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence in Reasi, Jammu and Kashmir. The protesters, including members of the JK BJP women’s wing and trade leaders, gathered outside Lok Bhavan, chanting slogans and burning an effigy of Lt Governor Manoj Sinha.

The demonstration caused significant traffic disruptions for over an hour, as protesters blocked the main road. Police were deployed to maintain order and push back the crowd.

The Sangharsh Samiti is advocating for exclusive reservation of seats for Hindu students at the medical college. Convener Colonel Sukhvir Singh Mankotia stated, “We are not against students of any particular religion, we just want the seats in the medical college to be reserved for Hindu students alone.” He argued that Lt Governor Sinha, as chairman of the shrine board, has a responsibility to protect the religious sentiments of the Hindu community.

The controversy arose after the admission of the inaugural MBBS batch, comprising 42 Muslim candidates (primarily from Kashmir), seven Hindu students from Jammu, and one Sikh candidate. The protests have been ongoing since the list’s release, culminating in today’s demonstration. Leaders of the Sangharsh Samiti have reportedly held talks with the Lt Governor and central government officials, including the Union Health Minister, in an attempt to resolve the issue.
