Last evening, the Delhi Police entered the Jamia Millia Islamia University to quell the bouts of violent acts accompanying the protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act. Public property was destroyed as the enraged mobsters indulged in blatant acts of vandalism and arson. Hundreds of ‘protesters’ were paraded out of the University with their hands in the air. The Police said that they had nabbed some outsiders who were indulging in violence.

Many sympathisers of the Jamia ‘protestors’ came out to defend the protest as a peaceful demonstration that was cruelly suppressed by the Delhi Police with brute force. However, the latest attack on the scribes who were out there to report the developments of the protest indicates that the violence was a distinctive feature of the protest that was carried out yesterday and the protest was by no means ‘peaceful’.
