Congress leaders on Monday sat on a symbolic protest over police action during students' protests in Jamia Millia Islamia (Delhi) and Aligarh Muslim University near India Gate.
The protest was led by All India Congress Committee Secretary, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Others in attendance included KC Venugopal, AK Antony, PL Punia and Ahmed Patel.
Soon after the protest began, Jagdish Tytler arrived for the event.
For the uninitiated, Tytler is a Congress politician who is also accused in the anti-Sikh riot.
Social media exploded into outrage soon after pictures of Tytler making his way to the protest surfaced.
Take a look at some of the reactions:
On Sunday protesters had torched four public buses and two police vehicles and clashed with officials near Jamia Millia Islamia University. Nearly 60 people including students, cops and firefighters were injured.
Police used batons and teargas shells to disperse the violent mob but denied firing at them. Following the arson on roads, police entered the Jamia university campus.
A Jamia students' body claimed they had nothing to do with the arson and "certain elements" had joined the during the protest and "disrupted" it.
