Anti-CAA violence: AMU students condemn Yogi’s statement, demand resignation

AGRA: The students of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) on Wednesday demanded immediate resignation of UP CM Yogi Adityanath for his statement in the Vidhan Sabha holding students responsible for the violence during anti-CAA protests on December 15.
In a statement, students, said that the CM’s remarks that AMU students used stones, petrol bombs and weapons against police is an absolute falsehood and contrary to the truth.
"The CM is trying to cover up the state terror unleashed against the students of AMU on the 15 December. Even the Allahabad high court chief justice Govind Mathur, after seeing the photographs of the clash between Aligarh Muslim University students and the police on the intervening night of December 15-16, has already said that the police had made a war-like situation," said former students union president Salman Imtiaz.
He said CM’s continuation in office is a great hurdle in the deliverance of justice. "We urge the President of India to take notice of his false claims and seek his removal"” said students.
Former members of AMU Students’ Union urged the judiciary to intervene into the matter to save the lives of the citizens and their right to protest. The students urged the judiciary to take a serious note of Yogi’s statement that if people come to die, they do not get a life, which they claimed was an indication to more state sponsored violence against anti-CAA protesters.
