Sixteen students’ organisations announced the formation of ‘United Students of India’ on Tuesday as a joint platform to hold nationwide protests against the National Education Policy (NEP) of the Union government.
The move is in line with the activities of the platform of Opposition parties in the INDIA bloc. Student organisations of the Congress, Aam Aadmi Party, Samajwadi Party, Left parties, DMK and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) are included in the combined front.
At a press conference in New Delhi, the leaders of the outfits said that they have a membership base of about five crore students after joining hands for the new platform.
