A group of self-proclaimed UPSC aspirants raised slogans against the agitating Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students, in Connaught Place, New Delhi on Wednesday (27 November).
"We, UPSC aspirants, were here to buy some clothes. But when we saw students abusing our Prime Minister, we could not resist ourselves and protested against them," said Punit Upmanyu, who along with about 10 more youths, raised slogans.
They were stopped near B block of the Connaught Place by security forces, while the JNU students continued their protest.
Earlier, the JNU students formed a human chain in inner circle of the Connaught Place, one of national capital's most visited places. They were accompanied by students from different institutions, including Jamia Millia Islamia, AIIMS and IIT-Delhi.
Earlier on Tuesday (26 November), the JNU administration announced concession in service and utility charges to pacify the agitating students of the varsity. This was the second time that the administration decided to give a breather to the students in the proposed hostel fee hike. However, the feel relief announced by the administration failed to placate the protesting students, who are demanding a complete roll back.
