New Delhi: Anti-government posters covered the long boundaries of Jamia Millia Islamia as protest against the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act and the proposed National Register of Citizens outside the university continued for the third consecutive day on Wednesday.
The protesters, including students and local residents, hung a large map of India outside the varsity gate number 7 showing the places where students from other universities across the country are carrying out protests against the CAA.
Another large poster urged the protesters “to maintain the acceleration with zero violence (sic)”.
People from nearby areas and students started gathering outside the gate number 7 around 10:30 am. They raised slogans against Home Minister Amit Shah, the government and the Delhi Police, demanding withdrawal of the CAA. “We don’t know if we will win or lose, but the fight will continue,” a student said addressing the gathering. Joining the protest around noon, social activist Medha Patkar said it was not “citizenship amendment act but citizen amendment act”.”If it came to NRC, we vow not to participate in it,” she said.
