Scores of students of different universities in the city on Monday staged a sit-in inside their campuses holding placards protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the police action on their counterparts in Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia.

Students of the Maulana Azad National Urdu University, University of Hyderabad and Osmania University held demonstrations and raised slogans against the BJP-led government at the Centre and Delhi Police.

The protesters also expressed solidarity with their Aligarh Muslim University counterparts and condemned police action against them.

The UoH Student's Union held a protest on the varsity campus and demanded rollback of the CAA and sought strict action against Delhi and Uttar Pradesh police for their "assault" on campuses.

A group of students squatted inside the Osmania University campus and raised slogans against the BJP government, Delhi Police and held placards that read "Reject CAB, Boycott NRC."
