On 4 April 2025, AISA along with other student organizations held a demonstration near Gate 7 of JMI in protest against the unconstitutional and communal Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
In a shameful display of authoritarianism, Delhi police along with CRPF and RAF were also deployed outside the gate in large numbers since morning to alarm the students, creating a threatening environment. Moreover, the Jamia administration locked down the campus—shutting all gates and preventing students from both entering and exiting.
As an act of symbolic resistance, the bill was burned. In a desperate attempt to drown out student voices, the proctor instructed campus guards to blow whistles continuously during the speeches—a cheap tactic that only further exposed the administration’s fear of dissent.
Despite these suppressive tactics, we will continue to resist every attempt to silence us and continue the fight against this assault on our Constitution.
