The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 17 Dec 2019Violence can’t be condoned but police can’t trample upon students’ right to protest.
Protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act have spread to many university campuses, leading to confrontation with police in some instances. One of the bigger police-protester clashes was seen on Sunday at Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia. At least four buses were set on fire, and a dozen cars and scores of bikes were damaged. Reports emerged of stone pelting by protesting students on police, while the latter forcibly entered the varsity and lobbed tear gas shells on the campus. Social media videos also emerged of policemen assaulting students, suggesting the highhandedness of the crackdown.
