Listen to this article :
While the nation is condemning the brutal attack on students at Jamia Millia Islamia University by Delhi police during their protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, only a couple of sportspersons have come out in support of the students. Ex-India pacer Irfan Pathan speaks to mid-day about how the issue is not about students from a particular faith, but about the safety of the student community, which has decided to speak out over an issue.
Pathan was the first cricketer to tweet on Sunday and show his solidarity with the students. Barring former Test players, Pathan and Aakash Chopra, cricketers, who are role models for many Indians, have maintained silence on the crackdown.
