The Big Picture - Public Property & Protest

The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday said it will hear all pleas related to the Jamia Milia Islamia clashes on Tuesday while issuing a stern warning to students to stop riots. Citing destruction of property amid anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protests in the national capital, Chief justice of India SA Bobde said, If violence and destruction of public property continues, we will not hear it. The development comes as several pleas have been filed after a violent clash between Delhi Police and Jamia students on Sunday. Pleas on similar clashes in Aligarh Muslim University will also be heard by the Supreme Court tomorrow. Meanwhile, protests were carried out in several places in West Bengal and Assam. At least 5 trains and three railway stations were torched in West Bengal. Similar scenes were witnessed in Assam as well.
