| Two students of Delhi University, who allegedly belong to the BJP-linked student organisation ABVP, were arrested hours after the DU protest against campus violence that drew a huge crowd on Tuesday. The arrests took place after two students, who participated in the protest, said they were attacked by ABVP supporters on their way back, sources said. During the day, more than 2,000 placard-holding, slogan-shouting students and teachers turned up for the rally at the North Campus. Left leaders D Raja and Sitaram Yechury joined the walk that was held under tight security. Gurmehar Kaur - the 20-year-old daughter of a soldier, who had been brutally targeted on social media for her Facebook post on ABVP - dropped out of the campaign saying she had taken "all she could".
1Prashant Mishra and Vinayak Sharma, both students of DU, have been accused of voluntarily causing hurt, the police said. In their complaint, two students of AISA (All India Students' Association) -- Utkarsh Bharadwaj and Raj Singh -- said they were beaten up and attempts were made to strangle them as they were returning from the protest.
2Buoyed by the turnout at today's protest, DU students have decided to hold another march from Mandi House to Parliament on March 4 in protest against the ABVP.
3Students, teachers and non-teaching staff from various universities including JNU, Jamia and Ambedkar University, participated in the protest march in the North campus. Besides Left leaders Sitaram Yechury and D Raja, Swaraj Abhiyan's Yogendra Yadav, AAP's Pankaj Pushkar, and JNU's Kanhaiya Kumar also took part in the march.
4CPM leader Sitaram Yechury said, "They cannot win this with their intellectual skill and want to replace it with violence. Humara nationalism is "we are Indian' and not 'who is a Hindu'?" "This is a collective fight to defend our constitutional rights. We will be raising the issue of DU in Parliament," CPI leader D Raja added
