Hyderabad: Students from the University of Hyderabad (UoH) and Osmania University (OU) also joined the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act-2019 (CAA-2019) which continued for the third day at the Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) on Monday.
Students raised slogans against the CAA-2019 and the police action against the students of Jamia Milia Islamia (JMA) in Delhi.
MANUU Students Union leader Umar Faruq said that the police action against the JMA students is condemnable and demanded justice. The MANUU students will continue their protest until justice is done and the CAA-2019 is scrapped. “The CAA-2019 is against the spirit of the constitution and divisive in nature.
It singles out Muslims and once the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is implemented then the Muslims will be sent to detention camps and non-Muslims will be granted citizenship in the country.
We demand citizenship to all irrespective of religion,” he said. Further, the students will continue their protests within the campus.
“We are planning to chalk out an action plan to continue our protest and dissent against the CAA-2019 outside the campus from the next week” The Hans India reported.
At Hyderabad Central University, students from the Student Islamic Organisation (SIO) gathered in good numbers and staged a protest against the CAA-2019.
The protesters burnt an effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah and demanded that the Centre scrap the CAA-2019.
They condemned the alleged police highhandedness on students at JMI and Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).
