Students of St Stephens College boycott classes to show solidarity with JNU students

In what can be seen as a nationwide solidarity movement, students of prestigious St Stephens College in Delhi boycotted classes, read the Preamble in support of JNU students. They also opposed CAA as well as NRC.

"At St Stephen's today. Students boycott classes (very, very rare) to read the Preamble to the Constitution and to support and say #WeStandWithJNU. And #NoCAANoNRC," read a tweet.

Leaders from across the political spectrum have condemned the attacks on the students and teachers of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) inside the campus.

Along with the condemnation, the blame game has also started over the violence that swept the university campus on Sunday as several masked individuals thrashed students and teachers with wooden and metal rods.

Two office-bearers of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU), including president Aishe Ghosh were badly injured. The JNUSU accused the RSS’ student wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarthi Parishad (ABVP) for the violence.

The ABVP, in return, has blamed the Left for the violence. It claimed that at least 25 of its activists were injured, while another 10 activists were missing ever since the attack.

The JNU administration, on the other hand, has appealed to the students to maintain peace.
