Jamia Millia Islamia students raise ‘Strike for Babri’ slogans on campus
Live MintOn the evening of January 22, a group of people attempted to stage a protest on the campus of Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia. Earlier on Monday, police personnel were stationed outside Jamia Millia Islamia campus following the circulation of an online video depicting two to three students raising slogans like “Strike for Babri,” PTI reported. Meanwhile, as reported by ANI, Delhi Police said in a statement, “In a viral video, some people at Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia tried to protest on the University campus on the evening of 22 January. No action was initiated because the protest happened inside the campus and no official complaint was given to the police.” In the viral video, a man is seen raising slogans of “Allahu Akbar”, “Strike for Babri”, and “RSS down down.” Security measures were heightened on the day of the consecration of the new idol of Ram Lalla at the Ram temple in Ayodhya, constructed on the site where the 16th century Babri Masjid once stood before its demolition by a frenzied mob of 'karsevaks' in 1992. “The deployment of police personnel outside is a precautionary measure,” a police official said and added that it was done in view of the Ram temple consecration ceremony and upcoming Republic Day.
