New Delhi, Dec 15 (PTI) Hundreds of students held a demonstration at Jamia Millia Islamia on Thursday to mark the third anniversary of Delhi Police’s action against protesting students in 2019. However, the university administration said the students took out a candlelight vigil to mark the anniversary of the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests.
Students have claimed there was a heavy police deployment in view of the demonstration. “It is not a protest but a candlelight vigil by Jamia students to commemorate the anniversary of the anti-CAA protests and the police action on students. The university gatekeepers had to ensure no outsider enters and there is no untoward incident,” a university official said.
The police on December 15, 2019, had allegedly stormed the library while looking for “outsiders” who were involved in arson and violence during an anti-CAA protest outside the campus. PTI VA NSD NSD
