Aligarh Muslim University students continue protests against CAA despite warning

Aligarh: Students of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) have resolved to continue their sit-in protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), despite a stern warning from the varsity administration.

The administration has put up notices on the campus, stating that all concerned were requested to comply with orders of the high court, which direct the Aligarh District Magistrate and SSP to ensure that no person was allowed to “convene, hold, attend, address or take part in procession or join any kind of dharna, demonstration or rally, either at the main gate of the administrative block of Aligarh Muslim University or within a 100-meter radius of the block and the VC’s lodge inside campus”. The student leaders claimed they had measured the distance at which they have set up their protest site, and it was more than the distance suggested by the high court. Former students’ union President Faizul Hassan said their protest would continue, notwithstanding directions of the varsity administration. (IANS)
