More than 50 students of University of Madras and its affiliated colleges protested for the second consecutive day on Tuesday demanding the arrest of perpetrators of attack on students and faculty members of Jawaharlal Nehru University.

They also demanded the withdrawal of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and urged the Centre not to undertake the National Population Register (NPR) and the National Register of Citizen (NRC).

“First, the students of Jamia Milia and Aligarh Muslim University were attacked and now, JNU students were targeted. If these attacks are allowed to continue, any protesting student could become a target. The Union government should immediately arrest the perpetrators,” a student said.

Expressing solidarity with JNU, students from IIT Madras, University of Madras and Presidency College had protested on Monday. Students, academics and activists also held a candle light vigil.
