New Delhi: Agitating students of Jamia Millia Islamia University, who have been protesting against the newly amended citizenship law, said on Monday that the protest would go on until the Union Government takes the "repressive law" back.
Interacting with ETV Bharat near the University campus, students said Delhi Police was using excessive power to deal with the students, who have been protesting "peacefully".
"We have been hit as if we were some-anti-national elements," one of the students said, adding that policemen entered the library and thrashed students preparing for competitive exams.
Another student, who had his hand and head hurt, said he was brutally thrashed and was called a 'terrorist' by the police.

"We are not anti-national. We have been protesting peacefully. We did not indulge in any act destroying public property," said another student, adding that it was a "fight to save the Constitution of the country".
"My parents never wanted to be part of this agitation, they are not aware that I am here but I have come to join the protesting students believing that like-minded people should come out of their houses and support the cause, otherwise, the day is not far when they would attack us in our homes," another female student added.
The students also raised a question on how the police could enter the university campus without permission.
Meanwhile, as many as 14 litigations have been filed in the Supreme Court against the CAA. The apex court would hear them on Tuesday.
