As many as 172 students, staff and faculty members at IIM Bangalore have written an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, protesting against the repression of students who have been demonstrating against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

The open letter asks Modi to “not trample the democratic rights of citizens to peacefully protest an unjust law.”

Here’s the full text of the letter:

Dear Hon Prime Minister,

We the undersigned members of IIM Bangalore stand in solidarity with students around the country protesting against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act of 2019 (CAA). We call upon you to not trample the democratic rights of citizens to peacefully protest an unjust law. Non-violent civil disobedience is at the heart of our republic’s founding. We urge you to ensure that students can protest peacefully, and that violence is not incited by anyone including custodians of state in positions of great authority and responsibility.
