Bengaluru: A day after the brutal attack on students and violence in New Delhi’s Jawarhal Nehru University, multi-lingual actor and theatre practitioner Arundhati Nag said that the government cannot hijack the democracy of India, especially educational institutions.

Speaking at the protest at Town Hall here, Arundathi said, “I’m here to show solidarity with the students and convey a strong message to the government that they cannot hijack the democracy of India, especially educational institutions.”

Meanwhile, a student said, “The police have been stationed outside the gates and they enter the campus whenever there is a small protest. This time when goons entered, they didn’t do anything.”

The protest condemning the attack on JNU students began at 10 am continued till 6 pm. Several students joined the protest after their classes, including those from National Law School, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, and Indian Institute of Science.
