Several students of Jamia Millia stood shirtless in the bone-chilling cold outside the university campus gates on Monday, December 16, 2019.
The students raised slogans of “Inquilab Zindabad” and took out a small march, they were also accompanied by other fellow colleagues. Students demanded a CBI inquiry into the “police brutality.”
“This government is anti-minority, anti-students, anti-poor. We won’t tolerate this. Won’t keep mum,” students said.
Anas Siddiqui, a student said that the police called them “terrorists” and challenged them to come outside of the varsity campus to face them.
“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,” a research scholar, who did not want to be identified, said on Monday.
When few women escorted an injured student to the media about their suffering, it was seen that they were asked not to make any statements.
“We were inside the university when the police barged in. Around 20 policemen came from gate no 7 and 50 others came from the rear gate. We told them we were not involved in the violence. They didn’t listen. They didn’t even spare women,” Khanzala, who suffered injuries to the legs and abdomen, said.
A woman broke down as Khanzala showed his injuries to the media. Therefore, a few students and locals were seen clearing the roads for the smooth movement of vehicles to prevent road traffic jams.
Chief Justice of India, S.A. Bobde, will hear a petition filed on the violence against the students on Tuesday, December 16, 2019.
