Violence broke out at Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia university last month during a protest against the citizenship law; the police were accused of using excessive force on students.

Earlier this month, masked goons with armed rods entered the campus and attacked students and destroyed University property.

The JNU Students Union has alleged the role of BJP's student wing ABVP in the violence, while the ABVP alleges the role of the Union president and SFI leader Aishe Ghosh in instigating violence first.

In a shocking statement, Balyan had alleged that the children who were a part of the Anti-CAA protests in Muzaffarnagar came from Madrasas.

The protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act on December 20, in Muzaffarnagar, took a violent turn with protesters resorting to stone-pelting. Balyan has urged to conduct a probe on why the children aged 12-18 were involved in the protests.
