“I joined I today itself. Its random work. Anyone can volunteer if they think they have a good drawing or writing skills. We make sure people who come to the protest do carry sensible posters which make sense,” said Kafeel, a sociology student.

Several Ex-student of Jamia who have passed out and have joined in the protest have also been seen volunteering for the placards making.

Ali Akhter Khan, an ex-student of the university sits on the pavement and is busy writing quotes.

“We are contributing at whatever capacity we can in this movement, no one has the time to read big long essays on the subject rather the catchy placards can attract the attention of the media and simplify the issue of the protest,” he said.

One of the placards read “Need a doctor, Our constitution is on Ventilator”. Another read “I am a doctor and I won't treat my patients on the basis of religion,”
