Expressing dismay over the Delhi police action on students in Jamia Milia Islamia, Congress General Secretary in charge of Uttar Pradesh (East ) Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, held a sit-in at the India Gate on Monday in a show of solidarity with the students from Jamia Millia Islamia and several other universities across the country protesting the contentious amended citizenship law.
She was joined by leaders like Ahmed Patel, A K Antony, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Randeep Singh Surjewala, besides hundreds of party workers.
Before sitting on the dharna at the India Gate lawns, Priyanka Gandhi cited Delhi Police action against Jamia University students to hit out at the Modi government, saying the atmosphere in the country has become “bad”.
“The country’s atmosphere is bad. Police is entering university to beat up (students). The government has tinkered with the Constitution. We will fight for the Constitution,” she said.
She tweeted in Hindi and slammed the Modi government
देश के विश्वविद्यालयों में घुस घुसकर विद्यार्थियों को पीटा जा रहा है। जिस समय सरकार को आगे बढ़कर लोगों की बात सुननी चाहिए, उस समय भाजपा सरकार उत्तर पूर्व, उत्तर प्रदेश, दिल्ली में विद्यार्थियों और पत्रकारों पर दमन के जरिए अपनी मौजूदगी दर्ज करा रही है।
यह सरकर कायर है। #Shame
