Activists of the Indian National Students' Union (NSUI) on Saturday took out a foot march from the Dehradun Municipal Corporation to the District Magistrate’s office, Dehradun. During the protest, they submitted a memorandum to the City Magistrate, demanding action in connection with the murder of Tripura student Angel Chakma.
In the memorandum, the NSUI said the murder of Angel Chakma has deeply shaken the student community. It said the incident raises serious questions about the law-and-order situation and exposes the poor state of student safety in the region. The organisation also said the lack of strict and effective action against the accused so far is extremely unfortunate and worrying.
Earlier, on December 30, the NSUI had organised a candle march at Jantar Mantar in Delhi to protest against the brutal killing of Angel Chakma.
NSUI president Varun Choudhary said, “Today we held a candle march here for Angel Chakma. This has now become common throughout the country, anywhere where the BJP is in power, lynching and violence have become common... While this murder was carried out by a few individuals, the ideology of the RSS and BJP is behind this lynching. No action was taken for 15 days, and only after he passed away did he make a phone call and create a drama. This shouldn't be happening at all in the country."
