Delhi police barricaded the road near gate no. 2(if I remember correctly). First many of us were heckled, lathi charged and detained. And then started the tear gas shelling. They fired tear gase so much so that there was a time, all you could see and breath was tear gas smoke

The police even pelted stones on the students. It was my first such encounter with police. I had read of the brutalities Law Enforcement Agencies can do but I actually never thought that it would happen to peacefully protesting students in the national capital.

Because I had participated in many rallies where we (JNU Students) braved Police and it's lathi charges and detentions. And that's the thing I want to point out, the reaction of police for Jamia was/is way different and more aggressive than it was/is for JNU or other campuses.

This kind of aggressive and brutal behaviour is reserved for Muslims. What followed on 15th December is an extension to what happened on 13th. The state showed us a snippet of our place in this democracy and thought we'd learn and behave but the threat of CAA was/is very real.

And on 15th, Jamia Milia Islamia and AMU braved the most brutal of attacks that any Indian campus has seen. War weaponry was used on students. Brutal injuries. Hands amputated. Minhaj Bhai lost his eye.

All for what? For raising a slogan, lighting a candle, leading a march, protesting.
Writing it all down to remind and remember. To remind, our struggle continues through all our brothers and sisters who are incarcerated and that we reject CAA!
#NeverForgetNeverForgive
