Mumbaikars protested at Gateway against JNU attacks

The JNU attacks have left people exasperated, especially the youth of the nation. Mumbaikars protested at Gateway to voice their concerns.

The recent JNU attacks against the students and staff of the university have brought a storm across the country with many cities joining in hands to protest against the act. Mumbai showed its support against the violence as soon as the pictures and videos of the violence started making rounds. Coming together, Mumbaikars protested at Gateway of India. The protest that began on Sunday as a silent one, became a chain protest on Monday. Despite being a working day, the Gateway protest saw a crowd of 1000+ people that included working professionals and students who stayed up all night chanting and showing their disapproval on the atrocities faced by the students in Delhi. The people chanted slogans condemning the violence. However, after 36 hours of the protest, Mumbai police has relocated the protesters and shifted them from Gateway of India to Azad Maidan.

Netizens took to social media to spread the word as Mumbaikars protested at Gateway:

Look at how @MumbaiPolice calmly explain giving reasons why they have relocated the protestors. Huge huge respect to them for making sure the protest happen safely. https://t.co/Emm4akpkxB

जवाहर लाल नेहरू विश्वविद्यालय (JNU) कैंपस में बेहरमी से किए गए हमले के बाद देशभर के कई शहरों के छात्र समर्थन में आगे आए। रविवार को JNU में हुए हिंसा के कारण अब आवाज मुंबई तक पहुंच गई हैं। मुंबई के गेटवे ऑफ इंडिया पर रविवार रात से लगातार छात्र प्रदर्शन कर रहे हैं। बता दे कि इस प्रदर्शन में छात्रों के साथ साथ फिल्म जगत के भी कई लोग शामिल हैं। जिसमे तापसी पन्नू, दिया मिर्ज़ा, अनुराग कश्यप और अनुभव सिन्हा हैं। इसी बीच गेटवे ऑफ इंडिया से एक खबर सामने आई हैं। बताया जा रहा है कि आंदोलन कर रहे छात्रों को पुलिस ने जबरन वहां से हटा दिया हैं। इन छात्रों को जबरदस्ती उठा उठाकर पुलिस की गाड़ी में डाला गया, और इन्हे आज़ाद मैदान शिफ्ट कर दिया गया। . . . #mumbaipolice #mumbaiprotest #jnuviolence #jnuprotest #gatewayofindia #thelokniti

Now Gateway of India is Mumbai’s Shaheen Bagh. I saw the crowd grow, voices get bolder and people’s hearts getting warmer. Now ‘last nail in the coffin’ also seems like an overkill. What do you call this situation? They’re not moving, will you my egoistic government? #chalogateway #gatewayofindia #caa #jnuattack #jnuattacked #jamia #mumbai #protest
