NEW DELHI: As the protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act is intensifying in Jamia Millia University, several students have come up raising their voice against the Central government and Delhi police for spreading violence in the name of resisting the protest.
A group of Jamia Millia students stood shirtless in the bone-chilling cold outside the university gates on Monday to protest against the police action against their colleagues a day earlier.
Slogans of "Inquilab zindabad" rent the air as the group of around 10 students, accompanied by their fellow colleagues, took out a small march.
"Our colleagues have been beaten up badly. The policemen entered bathrooms, libraries and beat up girls. Our protest is against the goons called Delhi Police," said a research scholar who did not want to be identified.
Another student said, "I do not feel safe to live in this country and don't know where to go. We fear that we may get killed in a mob lynching incident."
The student even went on to express concern about the safety of Muslims by saying, "We are concerned about the future of our Muslim friends in the country. Will they be able to continue living as Indian citizens? I am not a Muslim but I have been a part of this protest right from the first day because of an unfortunate incident that happened to my family. What is the point of education if one is not ready to fight for the right cause?"
