Amid mounting unrest at JNU, ABVP has laid bare a toxic mix of university admin despotism and leftist student leaders’ phony activism. Regular students, focused on studies, find themselves collateral damage in this partisan war.
History repeats with a twist: when ABVP members faced one-sided penalties—fines, rustications—the left unions zipped their lips. No rallies, no resolutions. Today, their own face CPO-mandated actions, and suddenly the campus is a warzone of dharnas and study boycotts, robbing thousands of learning hours.
Spotlight on CPO manual hypocrisy: Left outfits welcomed it as admin efficiency, sidelining ABVP’s protests against its anti-democratic bent. Biting back now with their suspensions, they howl ‘dictatorship.’ ABVP’s stance unchanged: repeal it to protect JNU’s open discourse.
President Mayank Panchal stated firmly: ‘ABVP champions transparency and rights from day one against CPO’s assault on freedom. Left’s past silence and present chaos prove their student-cause is a sham. We oppose all anti-student moves, period.’
Minister Praveen Piyush reinforced: ‘No to violence or disruptions—that’s not our way. CPO’s flip from ‘reform’ to ‘repression’ unmasks left self-interest. We’re battling admin tyranny and fake democrats alike to free the campus for education.’
The JNU story is a cautionary tale of power plays eroding academia. With ABVP at the forefront, calls grow louder for de-escalation, manual abolition, and a student-first revival.
