Tension gripped JNU campus as left-wing factions were held responsible for displaying highly objectionable anti-national slogans. ABVP, the RSS-affiliated student body, wasted no time in issuing a scathing rebuke, terming the acts as ‘treasonous’.
The controversial materials, including posters and painted messages, were found adorning walls and notice boards. They allegedly propagated narratives hostile to India’s territorial integrity, drawing sharp criticism from nationalist groups.
ABVP activists staged a protest rally, urging the vice-chancellor to take immediate stern action. ‘JNU cannot become a breeding ground for anti-India forces,’ they asserted, highlighting how such events erode academic focus.
This isn’t the first time JNU has witnessed such polarizing episodes. Previous instances of slogan-shouting and protests have led to nationwide debates on freedom of expression versus sedition. ABVP has appealed to the home ministry for intervention if needed.
As the university braces for potential escalations, stakeholders emphasize dialogue over confrontation. However, the incident serves as a stark reminder of ideological battles raging within India’s top universities.
