Several artists from Bollywood fraternity had also joined the protest at Gateway of India yesterday.

The students and activists had gathered here on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday, soon after the reports of violence in JNU became public. Placards with "We stand with JNU", "Stop attacks on students" written on them were also seen at the Gateway of India.

Politicians, cutting across party lines, had condemned the attack on students which had taken place in JNU on Sunday.
