Some students blamed the university attack on right-wing activists, but they also accused police of doing nothing to stop the violence. They made no immediate arrests, but blamed the violence on “rival student groups”. The street protests have further divided a country that gave Modi a landslide return to power in May last year. India’s leading trade unions Monday called for a general strike on January 8 to protest against the government’s “anti-people” policies. More than 60 student unions have supported the one-day strike.
