The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students affiliated with the All India Students Association staged a protest near Delhi Police headquarter, on the 11th of April, Monday. The protest demanded the arrest of the ABVP activists for their alleged role in the violence at the varsity.
It is to be noted, that the two groups of students had clashed at the university’s Kaveri Hostel on the 10th of April, Sunday allegedly over-serving of non-vegetarian food in the mess on Ram Navami. The police also confirmed that six students were injured in the incident, which happened on the 10th of April.
The All India Students Association (AISA) activists alleged that some students were detained and taken to the Tughlaq Road Police Station. Furthermore, there was no immediate reaction from the police to the allegations. Mr. Sai Balaji, the AISA President said, “Our protest is going to continue. People who attacked the students are repeat offenders and so is the JNU administration. The protest at PHQ (police headquarters) was to ensure accountability by Delhi Police and ensure that justice happens. There will be more protests today.”
The protesting students had gathered near the police headquarters demanding the arrest of RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) members. The AISA Women activist said, “Women protesters were manhandled and their clothes were pulled by male security personnel. Several have been injured by the Delhi Police. We have been detained inside the Tughlaq Road Police Station.”
The protest is said to be continued until the Delhi police take action against the accused, who attacked the students.
