London (UK): Expressing solidarity with Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students, many former students demonstrated outside Indian High Commission in London on Wednesday and condemned Indian authorities for arresting JNU students.
Even though Wednesday was a working day, organizers managed to attract good attendance where protesters chanted anti-BJP slogans condemning police excesses, lawyers’ violence and Government’s Hindutva policies.
“Demanding Azadi is not a crime” said one placard. “Scrap the colonial sedition law” read another.
Slogans included “Down with fascism”; “Down with Brahmanwad”; “Down with sedition laws”; “Stop pushing Dalits to suicide”; “Stop which hunting of Muslims”; “Stop persecuting minorities”; “Kanhaiya Kumar tum sangharsh karo, ham tumhare saath haiN”; “Khalid tum sangharsh karo, ham tumhare saath haiN”.
They have launched a FaceBook page “Stand with JNU: Protest Demonstration at the Indian High Com” on which messages have been posted in support of protest at Indian High Commission in London for students in JNU.
