Patidar community leader Hardik Patel on Friday extended support to the protest by the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University against the hostel fee hike.
In a message posted on his Twitter handle, he said the students are not fighting a battle for themselves but for the coming generations.
He said there is a "conspiracy to end JNU" and alleged that the youth are being misguided in the name of religion and nationalism by the government.
