Amidst the coronavirus outbreak, students of the Jamia Millia Islamia University have temporarily suspended protest against CAA, the new citizenship law. The announcement was made by the Jamia Coordination Committee, a group comprising JMI students and alumni. The group was formed after alleged police brutality on the campus on December 15.
“We temporarily suspend the ongoing 24-hour sit-in protest at Gate no. 7, JMI and appeal to all protesters to kindly take the situation with utmost seriousness and save themselves and others from this fatal illness,” the Jamia Coordination Committee said in a statement.
The Jamia students also appealed to the government they must provide ration to the people and further added to it that the government should ensure a steady supply of essential items in the country.
They also added to it that with a heavy heart they are suspending the 24-hour sit-in protest at Gate no. 7 and they have requested all the protestors to take the situation very seriously.
