Amritsar, December 17: The students of Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) on Tuesday came out in support of their fellow students from Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi and Aligarh Muslim University following the violence unleashed by Delhi police on the issue of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
Termed CAA divisive and dangerous for the society, they carried placards rejecting the amendments in the law and said they would boycott the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC).
Led by SYP president Paramjit Singh Mand, Research Scholar Association (GNDU) leader Jatinderbir Singh, Students For Society leader Shubhkaramdeep Singh, PSU leader Hardeep Kotla, Mool Newasi Students Organisation leader Adv. Ankush and Phule-Ambedkar Student Association slammed BJP led Union Govt for its fascists policies and allowing Delhi police under its command to take law into its hands.
The country is heading towards civil war. The absolute power has gone to the heads of Modi-Shah combine and their coterie. They were behaving like dictators running tyrannical regime, said SYP president Mand.
Participating in a spirited protest, members of SFS said they stand with Jamia and AMU students and support the cause too. The new law is against minorities and must be rejected. The Union government, led by RSS BJP, is spreading its agenda of Hindi Hindu Hindutva in country and it can only be awakened by people’s protest.
They asked the society to speak out against state trampling on people’s rights as not speaking now would be considered complicity.
