Former India opener Aakash Chopra on Monday joined Irfan Pathan in expressing concern after several students of Jamia Millia Islamia were injured in police lathi charge during protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act which turned violent on Sunday evening.
"Deeply disturbing visuals from educational institutions across the country.
Teary eyed.
They are one of us.
These kids are the future of this country.
We don't make India great by silencing their voices with the use of force.
You'll only turn them against India, " Chopra said in a tweet.
"Political blame game will go on forever but I and our country is concerned about the students of #JamiaMilia #JamiaProtest, " Irfan had said on Twitter.
