At Jamia, we do not distinguish between insiders and outsiders

Afterwards, the administration claimed that the damage was a consequence of the police chasing“outsiders” – people living in the surrounding locality of Jamia Nagar, who had crashed into our campus that evening after protests against the discriminatory Citizenship Amendment Act came to be marked by violence.

I was on campus that evening – I am a final-year undergraduate student at the department of English at Jamia living in one of the girls’ hostels. I, and others who were there, know that the protesters that evening included students as well as people from surrounding areas.

Not many know that the protests of December 15 had started largely because of police action on December 13. That day, the police had used tear gas on protesting students at the engineering campus. On December 15, the people from the surrounding areas turned up to support the protest of Jamia students, not disrupt it.

A 65-year-old Kashmiri was detained and shifted to a UP jail after August 5. He never made it back

That is why he apologised to everyone in the mosque, asked them for forgiveness in case he had ever hurt or caused any harm to anyone.”

When Bhat went to the police that day, he was detained under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act, a preventive detention law. He was taken to the Anantnag district jail in South Kashmir, more than 130 kilometers away from his home.

A lifelong member of the banned socio-religious organisation, Jamaat-e-Islami, Bhat was transferred to Uttar Pradesh’s Naini jail.
