Ramjas college is the epicentre of the protest as the whole issue arose when Ramjas college invited Jawahar Lal Nehru College student Umar Khalid. Umar Khalid, contemproary of Kanhaiya Kumar, was in news for his protests at JNU and also faced the hearing from Supreme Court and was released on bail.
This led to protest by ABVP in front of Ramjas college and Umar Khalid schedule was cancelled by the college administration. However, the protest was not stopped here. The members of All India Students Union (AISA) assembled today in front of Ramjas college and the situation got serious. AISA and ABVP both were present in the campus and the full day resulted in the chaos. Police was on toes and also the Quick response team were present in the campus. This also effected the nearby areas as the shops near Patel Chest were closed. The transportation system was a break down, barricades were put up near by police station where the students spoke about the dissent and right to speak.
Kawalpreet from AISA stated, "In DU while Parishad is looking out for people who participated in the march today, m any of our activists around north campus are being harassed. While the Delhi police is silently giving all the support to Parishad and the buses in which they have detained us are being rotated everywhere in Delhi."
Shehla Rasheed tweeted, "Prof. Prasanta Chakravarty, English Dept. DU attacked by #ABVP, admitted to Hindu Rao hospital. #Ramjas@kanhaiyajnusu @kavita_krishnan"
These are the guidelines given to students of Delhi University.
1. College students arrested while trying to file an FIR against ABVP violence.
2. Midnight raids being planned on a lot of people identified. People in PGs should hopefully be safe, especially females. But the males, if you can evacuate the campus, do so right now. DON'T stay on campus if you were involved in protests yesterday and today.*
3. People detained are currently being taken around Delhi in police buses.
The situation itself represents the worse situation currently of the politics interference in colleges of Delhi University.
