(@imMAK02) November 18, 2019 Complete fee rollback In a recent development, the JNU students’ march to Parliament was stopped by the police near Safdarjung Tomb. They are demanding complete fee rollback along with other demands. A student protestor here alleged that by constituting a high-power committee to recommend ways to restore normal functioning in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) is trying to create a certain sense of fear among the students. “Our demands are very clear. Many student protestors have been thrashed brutally and they have been taken to unknown locations. Our demand is to release our detained friends. JNUSU has not received any notification regarding the high-power committee,” said the student protestor. Despite d brutal police crackdown & nearly 100 students, including JNUSU leaders, being detained, students continue to march to parlmnt. Many are walking with injured limbs. The msg is clear: Our march will reach parliament to make our voice heard, come what may!#EmergencyinJNU pic.twitter.com/PY4kxZNyMC — Nisam Asaf (@nisamasaf) November 18, 2019 “The teacher’s association has also not received any notification in this regard. They haven’t made it clear that what steps they will be taking. We want to convey a message to MHRD that no such committee is valid for us until the hostel manual gets cancelled,” he added. Students raised slogans and banners against the government. A large number of protestors chanted slogans like, “Halla Bol” and “Dekhna hai zor kitna bazue katil mein hai”. “The students are being treated very ruthlessly by the police. Later, we changed our way and now we are coming from Munirka Metro Station route. We are challenging the police who are behaving badly with the students protesting against the fee hike. We will try to reach the Parliament today no matter what,” said a student protestor. One of the protestors claimed that many students have been injured and they have been taken to the hospital. “We were heading very peacefully still police resorted to lathi-charge. We were carrying the tricolour flag with us still the police thrashed us. This protest will continue,” said a female protestor.
