Santosh Rasave, student of Fergusson College, and organiser of this march said, “Through this torch march the youth of Pune got together to raise voice against the masked goons who beat up the students of JNU.

“We had given the letter to the college administration regarding this march, but it was denied. So we took out the rally from outside the college campus and ended it at the main entrance gate of the college.”

Another student Sunil Jadhav said, “Students are the future of our country and their voice should not be stopped like this by attacking them, so to extend support to the students of JNU we have participated in the march.
