He also asked the VC to ensure a safe and secure campus for all students by driving out outsiders from the university dormitories.
The minister suggested the CU administration work with the university teachers and law enforcement agencies to maintain peace and discipline on the campus.
Nowfel warned that no one will be spared, regardless of their political affiliation.
