NEW DELHI: Jamia Millia Islamia University on Thursday released a statement urging students to not be part of the ongoing protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 (CAA) citing safety concerns.
Anti-CAA protests have been ongoing at the Maulana Muhammaed Ali Jauhar Marg near Jamia since December 16.
The Jamia administration in the statement asked the students to “not be part of the agitating crowd” and “endanger their safety and security”.
The notice read: “The university is responsible for the safety and security of its students within the domain of the campus and can protect the students and staff when they are as a group independent of the crowd.”
It asked the students to respect the request of the local police in the run up to the Delhi Assembly elections.
The Station House Officer at Jamia Nagar Police Station had sent a letter requesting the protestors to vacate the area to avoid any “untoward incident”. The letter also said that the protests site has been targeted by “anti-social elements” thereby “endangering the life of the protestors”.
Protestors had witnessed two separate incidents of violence within a week, including when a gunman shot at the crowd leaving one student injured.
