| JNU Students Union President Kanhaiya Kumar who is out on bail in a sedition case today led a march to Parliament demanding release of two varsity students and resignation of Union Minister Smriti Irani for alleged attack on academic institutions.
"She calls us her children, but has she ever spoken to my mother or Rohith Vemula's mother. I refused to be called her child. We demand that she should resign for the way academic institutions are being attacked," Mr Kumar said while addressing a gathering at Parliament Street.
The third in the series of "People's march to save democracy" was in solidarity with Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya who are facing sedition charges in connection with an event against hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised.
"This march is not to save one Umar or Kanhaiya, it is for democracy and social justice. When dictatorship comes to a country, education institutions are affected first. If you talk in favour of JNU and education, you are talking about making sense," the student leader said.
"If universities are being attacked, I want to tell you all that trust your children. There are some people who want to spread anarchy. But don't be afraid of them. You have to tell them that you cannot do all this. We will not tolerate any attack like this," Mr Kumar said.
