NEW DELHI: Expressing disappointment over the Government's "apathy'' towards their concerns, medical students agitating against the proposed reservation in Central universities and institutes of higher learning on Thursday warned that keeping their protests peaceful may no longer be in their hands. At a press conference here, Youth for Equality, the joint front of medical students in the Capital, announced to hold a protest at Lady Hardinge Medical College on Friday. To be supported by the engineering students of Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, Delhi College of Engineering as well as the undergraduate students of Delhi University, a large number of students are expected to participate in the protest.
