Tensions escalated at Jamia Millia Islamia in New Delhi on Saturday as police removed protesting students from outside Gate No. 7. Four students have been on a hunger strike for 13 days, demanding the restoration of student union elections. The protest, which began on October 12, intensified amid controversy over campus graffiti reading “Free Kashmir” and “Release Sharjeel Imam”. The BJP questioned Congress MP Imran Masood’s visit to support the protesters, triggering a political row. The university condemned the graffiti and shifted classes online, citing safety concerns. Heavy police deployment continued as students inside the campus raised slogans. (PC: India Today)
