Why protest if blind: JNU forum claims horror jibe by Delhi Police against student

India Today  

A Jawaharlal Nehru University forum for visually impaired students has accused the Delhi Police of not only beating up a participant during ongoing protests, but also mocking his disability. The student, Shashi Bhushan, was "inhumanely beaten up", and asked why he was protesting if he was "blind", the JNU Visually Challenged Students' Forum said. When Shashi Bhushan "brought the attention of the police personnel that he is visually impaired student, then the Delhi police very insensitively reacted, saying, 'Andha hai to protest karne kyon aata hai?'" Students also clashed with the police outside Safdurjung tomb near Jor Bagh.
