Assistant Professor Abrar’s tweet immediately triggered netizens and people were asking for action against him while saying that such communal behavior cannot be tolerated at a national university.
Since December 2019, the varsity witnessed the protests against CAA, NRC, and NPR. On December 15, the protest took a violent turn and Delhi Police barged into the premises of the varsity and allegedly beat up students.
Reportedly, Jamia University was the epicenter of anti-CAA protests since December when the police took action on students which triggered nationwide protest and students along with other took law and orders in their hands. Due to the protests against CAA, universities like Jamia, Delhi University, JNU, among others were closed.
In the anti-CAA protest, several people were left injured in the violence and over 10 people killed in the Delhi violence.
