New Delhi : Students of Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi staged a protest on the campus, opposing a programme marking 100 years of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
According to Global Mirror, the RSS-linked event, held as part of the ‘Yuva Kumbh’ initiative to celebrate the organisation’s centenary, drew sharp opposition from student organisations, who described it as “provocative” and inappropriate for the university space.
Amid heavy presence of Delhi Police and Rapid Action Force, students held placards that read “Jamia is our university, not your ‘shakha’” and “reject saffronisation of our campus”, as they raised slogans of ‘Inquilab Zindabad’ near the auditorium.
