Prime Time With Ravish Kumar, Nov 12, 2019 | JNU Students Protesting Huge Fee Hike Clash With Cops

Hundreds of protesting students of Delhi's prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University clashed with the policemen brought in to control them this afternoon. Policemen in riot gear, completely outnumbered by the students, were seen jostling with the crowd that wanted to meet the vice-chancellor. The protesters toppled barricades and hurled shoes at the police, who earlier used batons and water cannons. The students, objecting plans for what they claim is a huge hike in hostel fees, amped up their protest as the university held its convocation that was attended by Vice President Venkaiah Naidu and HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank'. While the University has claimed the hike is not huge, the students say it will hit those from deprived families who made it to the elite institution.
