Student Leaders, Civil Society Members Protest Communal Sloganeering At Jantar Mantar, Many Detained

News 18  

Around 100 student activists and civil society members gathered near Jantar Mantar on Tuesday to protest the alleged inflammatory sloganeering at a rally over the weekend but were stopped by the police from entering the site. A video showing anti-Muslim slogans being raised during a protest at Jantar Mantar here was widely circulated on social media, following which the Delhi Police registered a case in connection with the matter on Monday and arrested six people, including former BJP spokesperson Ashwini Upadhyay. We have come here to show that the country is secular and such hate-mongering should not be done.” The Left-backed All India Students’ Association, in a statement, said the Delhi Police has “undemocratically” detained students, civil society, journalists, AISA activists and people from other organisations for protesting against hate speech by BJP-RSS members in Delhi. “The SFI strongly condemns the hypocritical character of the Delhi Police, wherein on the one hand gatherings by BJP and RSS organisations to fuel genocidal and communal sentiments are permitted, and on the other, citizen’s protest calling for peace and harmony are attacked,” it said in a statement.
