On Monday, Hundreds of JNU students rocked the national capital on Monday, bringing several parts of the city to a halt.
Over 100 students who were detained by the police during the day, including JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh, were released by evening.
According to the police, nearly 30 police personnel and 15 students were injured during the eight-hour protest, in which thousands of students from different universities across the national capital took part.
Today, Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 2 pm after Opposition uproar over alleged police action on protesting JNU students.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour in Lok Sabha, Saugata Roy (TMC), T N Prathapan (Cong) and Danish Ali (BSP) accused the government of using force to suppress the voice of students. Roy dubbed as "unfortunate" the use of force on students, saying the hike should be rolled back as poor students will find it difficult to pay the fees.
Prathpan said the students are protesting for their rights. "The government is undemocratically suppressing their voice against fee hike. The government is ruining higher education institutions," he said.
He also demanded a high-level probe into the "atrocities" committed against students of the university.
Danish Ali too demanded a probe into the lathi-charge and sought an "apology" from the government.
But Speaker Om Birla did not allow him to speak further as his Zero Hour notice was on another issue.
