The attackers did not appear to be students…Akash Pathak

A student Akash Pathak witnessed the incident. He said that the attackers did not appear to be students. They were raising slogans against Brahminism and abusing on the basis of caste. The female journalist was misbehaved. Akash accused the police of not taking action. He said that being a Brahmin should not be a crime. In such an environment, the safety of journalists is a matter of concern.

Attack on media is dangerous for democracy…ABVP

Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad issued a statement blaming the attack on left wing organisations. He said that attack on media is dangerous for democracy. Left groups claim freedom of speech but spread violence. ABVP demanded strict action from Delhi Police and University. He linked the incident to the failure of the Left.

If someone’s identity is made his “crime”,
So this is not democracy, it is mobocracy.

Delhi Police has assured strict action against the accused.
Journalists outside the police station said that an arrest could be made soon.

Now the whole country is watching – justice must be done.

AISA’s answer

All India Students Association said that right wing goons targeted the journalist. His members tried to save him. AISA claimed that the police gave a free hand to the attackers. They are scared of the increasing support of UGC rules. The organization described the violence as a sign of fear. The war of words between the two sides has intensified.
