"Some students of the university protested yesterday against violence in the JNU campus. 'Free Kashmir' poster was spotted during the protest. We have issued notices to concerned orgsations asking for explanation and complained to the police," Mysore University Registrar Prof R Shivappa told reporters on Thursday.
