‘A safe shelter’

‘Definitions need clarity’

Shiv Sena (UBT) Mla Varun asked whether student organizations or farmers would be reserved in accordance with the law for protest. “Every university has left -leaning groups. If they protest or send something in WhatsApp, will they encounter any action?” he said.
