AMU STUDENTS MARCHED FOR DISAPPEARED JNU STUDENT NAJEEB; POLICE LATHICHARGED OVER CROWD

Rihai Manch has castigated the barbaric attack by the Uttar Pradesh police over the march of Aligarh Muslim University’s students for the disappeared student Najeeb.

The overcrowded students of AMU organised a march from Maulana Azad library in demand of justice for Najeeb on Saturday morning this week.

The march was peaceful. The students were demanding for the comeback of Najeeb; for action against the ABVP goons who had attacked over him. The students announced to stop the train, said Rihai Manch.
The students were first tried to stop inside the campus and the force were deployed at Bab-e-Syed gate, but the crowd could not be paused there.

When the police was failed to convince them, they attacked over these marching students. The water cannon and the lathi charge over the students at Gantaghar injured badly them. The 250 students were arrested and later released at PAC parade ground.

Mohd Arif, member Rihai Manch, said, the students of JNU and AMU are being targeted. Students like Rohith Vemula and Najeeb had no freedom and security for the study and academic career; and such quote by the police, during the march by AMU students that all will face like Najeeb exposes the failing claim of social justice.

Amanullah, student of research fellow at AMU, said, every lathi will be reckoned in forth coming assembly election in the state. And every lathi over the students of AMU will prove the last nail of SP’s box.

The students shouting slogans of Murdabad have been arrested. ASP and District Magistrate both marched on the street. Jamiruddin Shah, vice chancellor AMU, said after the lathi charge that the protest under the democratic way is fair; but the hindrance will not be tolerated. The accused will be punished after the detailed report of whole incident.

The chaotic situation was there from AMU to railway station. The trains, Purushottam Express and Vikramshila Express, arrived here from Delhi delayed in departure because of students’ campaign.
