Thousands of DU Students Join JNU Protest, Boycott Classes
“The policies of the current fascist government is a systematic assault on university spaces,” the statement read.
Thousands of Delhi University students boycotted classes to protest against the crackdown on universities including Sunday’s mob attack on Jawaharlal Nehru University, on the sidelines of the ‘Bharat Bandh’ on Wednesday, 8 January.
“The students rallied from Arts Faculty to different colleges of North Campus, shouted slogans against the CAA-NRC combine and condemned the attack on JNU students by ABVP activists,” a press release by the organisers said.
“The policies of the current fascist government represent a systematic assault on university spaces through the privatisation of education and the unleashing of ABVP and the police forces on resisting voices,” the students of St Stephens wrote before joining the meeting at the university’s Arts Faculty.
