Campus Clampdown: Jamia Millia Islamia Revisits 2019 Protest Anniversary

Jamia Millia Islamia suspended classes and closed its library amid a remembrance event for the 2019 anti-CAA protests. Students alleged that the administration, supported by police, aimed to prevent their commemoration with heavy restrictions and a police presence, which fuelled tensions on the campus.

On Sunday, Jamia Millia Islamia made the controversial decision to suspend classes and close its library, aligning with the anniversary of the 2019 anti-CAA protests that saw alleged police aggression on campus.

The All India Students' Association (AISA), backed by the Left, criticized the university administration for what they saw as a maneuver to thwart student participation in commemorative events.

Videos and claims from students highlighted intense police presence and restricted campus access, hinting at a deeper controversy over students' rights to peaceful protest.
