Photo by Aaquib Khan. Safoora Zargar (SZ): I am a member of the Jamia Coordination Committee, which is popularly known as JCC. It has been active since 16  December 2019, since the brutal repression by the police in Jamia Millia Islamia. There was much anger and people wanted to express themselves; sporadic protests started happening, people started gathering outside the campus without a protest call, just in support of Jamia: people from the locality, alumni, mothers, children, daughters, everybody was here. We decided to give it a shape and so the JCC was formed: we wanted to record and make people know about whatever protests took place. Since we have no Student Union in Jamia, we made a list of all the parties active in Jamia and made sure to have an equal number of male and female representatives. We are facilitating everything that’s happening, making people’s ideas possible…
