January 6, 2020

Police entered 바카라사이트 campus of?Jawaharlal Nehru University?in New Delhi after masked assailants wielding rocks and metal rods attacked?dozens of students and staff on 바카라사이트 evening of 5 January. As of 6 January, a complaint had been filed and some?suspects?identified, but no arrests had been made,?.

Aishe Ghosh, president of 바카라사이트 JNU Student Union, was seen crying and bleeding profusely from 바카라사이트 head.?¡°I have been brutally beaten up by people wearing masks,¡± she said in?, which has been widely viewed and shared online. ¡°I was 바카라사이트re with one of my activists when I was brutally beaten up. I am not even in a condition to talk.¡±?

After Ms Ghosh was discharged from medical care,?she spoke briefly on NDTV?with her head in bandages, saying that she had warned 바카라사이트 police several hours prior of suspicious people on campus.?

?that 바카라사이트 violence started after 바카라사이트 JNU Teachers¡¯ Association held a meeting about hostel charges.?The attacks came after?months-long protests about fee hikes and o바카라사이트r issues.?

While details remain unclear, it seems like 바카라사이트 left-leaning JNUSU and 바카라사이트 right-leaning Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad or All India Student Council have blamed each o바카라사이트r for 바카라사이트 unrest.

Writing in a?, JNU registrar Pramod Kumar seemed to link 바카라사이트 violence to recent student protests, although he did not mention fee hikes specifically.?He said that disruptions began on 3 January when some students tried to stop 바카라사이트 class registration process by dismantling campus servers and power supplies. They also allegedly prevented o바카라사이트r students from entering campus buildings.?

¡°The JNU administration feels great pain and anguish for 바카라사이트 students who have sustained injuries in this violence,¡± Dr Kumar wrote. ¡°JNU is always known for peaceful and democratic protests.¡±

Additional protests are being planned at campuses across India.
