Independent MLA Sheikh Abdul Rasheed today started a 24-hour-long hunger strike here to protest the alleged atrocities on students by police and other agencies.
Rasheed started the hunger strike at the Press Enclave and was joined by few of the supporters of his Awami Ittehad Party (AIP).
The hunger strike is to protest against atrocities on students by the police and other agencies. It is painful that while people across the world are showing concern and taking to the streets, the local police is using all brutalities against peaceful students," he told reporters.
He alleged that the police had not been allowing students to come out of their college or university premises.
