Arvind Kejriwal's Tweet:

Sunday witnessed a massive police-students face-off in Delhi after a section of protesters in the march led by Jamia Millia Islamia students against the Citizenship Amendment Act resorted to violence. The miscreants burnt down four buses and vandalised over a dozen vehicles. Fire brigade personnel who were rushed to the site were also allegedly pelted with stones by the infuriated mob. Following the vandalism on roads, police entered the varsity campus and allegedly assaulted students.

Police used batons and teargas shells to disperse the crowd inside the Jamia campus. The crackdown left nearly 100 students injured. Kejriwal had then spoken to Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal and sought action against those who indulged in violence. "Spoke to Hon’ble LG and urged him to take all steps to restore normalcy and peace. We are also doing everything possible at our end. Real miscreants who caused violence shud be identified and punished," Kejriwal's tweet read.
