Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticised Delhi University's statement cautioning students against participating in demonstrations at Jantar Mantar.
Responding to the statement on X, Gandhi wrote: "How dare you threaten students for exercising their democratic rights? Please note, you are the ones that will be held accountable when the time comes."
DU issues advisory on protests
His remarks came after Delhi University issued a statement on its social media account X asking students and faculty to stay away from "any unlawful assemblies or demonstrations" at Jantar Mantar, citing Supreme Court directives. The university warned that participation in such activities could invite legal action, pose risks to personal safety, and adversely affect students' academic progress and professional opportunities. The advisory also urged students to remain cautious of fake and misleading content being circulated online.
