JTA condemn all sort of violence near Jamia or anywhere in India." the JTA also called an emergency meeting of extended Executive Committee on Monday at 11 am to discuss misuse of Jamia's name in the protests. Delhi Gripped Under Violent Anti-Citizenship Law Protests, Arvind Kejriwal Appeals For Peace, BJP Blames AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan.
