CAA: Jamia Millia, Delhi University witness protests; 5 Malayali students taken into custody

New Delhi: Students' groups at Jamia Millia Islamia on Tuesday protested against the implementation of CAA and demanded the Centre to withdraw it. 

Delhi University also witnessed a protest and five Kerala students were taken into custody. According to reports, the police entered the Delhi University campus and dragged the students out.

The protesting students pressed for the repeal of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, and the release of all students who were booked in the anti-CAA protest nearly four years ago. They also demanded the withdrawal of the cases against the students.

The students addressed the media from inside the Jamia Millia Islamia campus while the Delhi Police remained guarded outside.

Slogans such as "Delhi Police wapas jao", "BJP murdabad" and "Inqalab Zindabad" were raised at the protests.

Scores of students gathered on the campuses with posters demanding the release of student activists who were part of the 2019 anti-CAA protests.

The Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed in the area and drones are also being used to monitor the situation.
