This incident is perhaps the most clinching evidence that we are rapidly descending into anarchy. It happened in the national capital in India’s foremost University under the watch of Central govt, Home Minister, LG and Police Commissioner.
We demand that the perpetrators of violence (JNU) be identified and arrested within 24 hours and brought to justice. We also demand that accountability on officers be fixed and action taken immediately

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on JNU Violence
It is very disturbing, it is a dangerous planted attack on democracy. Anyone who speaks against them is labelled a Pakistani and an enemy of the country. We never saw such a situation in the country before this. Delhi's Police is not under Arvind Kejriwal rather it is under Central Govt. On one side they have sent the BJP goons & on the other side they made the Police inactive. What can Police do if they are directed by higher authority. This is a fascist surgical strike.
