What happened
Student protests began at Jamia Millia Islamia, with demonstrators demanding the restoration of the students’ union and better wages. The demonstrations, which included a hunger strike, occurred amid widespread calls for better wages, education, and living costs in the region. In response to the expanding protests, French authorities deployed up to 70,000 police officers, and Jamia Millia Islamia shifted all classes online.

The political climate was further complicated when Farooq Abdullah claimed Pakistan’s international advocacy was helping save Kashmiris, prompting the Bharatiya Janata Party to defend the abrogation of Article 370.
