Chandigarh, December 18
For the past few days, the students of Jamia Milia Islamia have been protesting against the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act.
Over the weekend, the protest turned violent when clashes broke out between the Delhi Police and the students, where the Police was seen using tear gas to disperse the crowd. Jamia Milia students continued protesting the very next day.
The students made their voices heard through sloganeering, powerful demonstrations, forming human chains and by reading the Preamble of the Constitution. Despite the anger, the students showed their basic sense of responsibility towards other citizens.
A video surfaced, where students were seen halting their protest in order to pave the way for an ambulance passing through the area.
Protesters, who had gathered in large numbers, were seen creating space enough for the ambulance to comfortably make its way through.
