In a social media post, Chief Minister Stalin termed it an “outrageous” attack on Kerala students at IGNTU by security staff.
“I appeal to the central government to intervene and stop the growing trend of discrimination and attacks against students in higher educational institutions,” he tweeted.
Earlier, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Congress leader and MP Shashi Tharoor had also condemned the attack on Kerala students at IGNTU and appealed to Union Skill Development Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to intervene in the matter.
Vijay Dixit, Public Relations Officer, IGNTU, in a tweet said, “On the night of March 10, an argument broke out between students and security personnel over clicking pictures at a water tank near the main gate of the university.”
“The matter turned into a fight, following which the security personnel approached the Amarkantak police station with a complaint against the students, who in turn demanded the university administration to take action against the security personnel.”
