Thousands of students across country take to streets in support of JNU

Hindustan Times  

Thousands of students in universities and colleges across India came together on Monday to protest against an attack by masked assailants in Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University, amid mounting criticism of the administration and city police for failing to stop the goons from barging into the campus and engaging in violence for three hours. “We have responded to PCR calls, and law and order situation professionally… crime branch has found some vital clue and we are working on it,” said Delhi Police public relations officer MS Randhawa. “The attack on JNU students and teachers is perpetrated by those in power in Delhi with the intention of curbing protests there,” said Pranjal Kalita, former general secretary of Cotton University Students Union. “Social media and CCTV footage will be part of the investigation,” said deputy commissioner of police Devendra Arya, adding the violence at the university had prompted the police to file an FIR against unknown people. “Yesterday’s bone chilling attack on students and teachers in JNU, Delhi, is a grim reminder of the extent the government will go to stifle and subjugate every voice of dissent,” said Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.
