Messages on social media including WhatsApp and Facebook soon went viral with Jamia Chalo requesting people to reach Jamia Millias gate number 7 to protest. "The events of 15th December 2019 will not simply fade away from our memories. They have left unimaginable imprints on the minds, hearts and bodies of not just students of Jamia Millia Islamia, but people across the the world having an active conscience," said a protesting student. University students from Aligarh Muslim University, JNU, Delhi University and several others also joined in the protest and students could be seen chanting slogans and giving speeches at various spots in Jamia. "This never happened before as AMU Tarana along with Jamia Tarana and Lal salam went hand in hand in the university. The students were never so united and stood for each other," said another protesting student. Even the girls of the various hostels in Jamia Millia marched to gate number 7 in large numbers demanding action against the Delhi Police for the December 15 crackdown.
