While speaking to ANI on Jamia Millia Islamia students protest in Nagpur on December 18, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik said, "The way General Dyer fired at the people in Jallianwala Bagh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is firing at citizens of the country in the same way." "Amit Shah is no less than Dyer. What Uddhav ji said ('What happened at Jamia Millia Islamia, is like Jallianwala Bagh') is correct," Malik added.
