NEW DELHI: Delhi University and Jamia Millia Islamia University students gave a call for protest against alleged BJP activities and the demolition drive in Jahangirpuri on Thursday, with the tagline — ‘Stop breaking our India for your dirty politics’.
The Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO) termed the coercive ramming down of properties of Muslim and places of worship in Jahangirpuri and other places as “vengeful abuse of state power”.
