After being reportedly heckled by the workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party, students of Bengaluru’s Jyoti Nivas College once again protested, this time in silence, with banner, against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens on Thursday.
On Wednesday, BJP workers allegedly asked the students of the college to “go to Pakistan” after the students opposed a pro-CAA banner that was put up on the college walls, The Quint reported. Videos of the argument were widely circulated on social media.

JNC is a women’s college and is home to women of many ethnicities, specially north east students. Look at the way these BJP goons argue and try to force their ways on the students. Have some shame @BJP4Karnataka #CAA_NRC_Protests pic.twitter.com/EZ8ZjfejY9
