New Delhi: The vice chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has instructed the grievances committee to investigate and submit a report after numerous campus buildings were vandalised with anti-Brahmin slogans on Thursday, with images of the vandalism being posted on social media.
“The incident involved some unidentified elements defacing walls and faculty rooms at the SIS of the university. The issue has been seriously noted by the Vice-Chancellor. The administration condemns these exclusivist tendencies on campus. “JNU belongs to everyone; these incidents will not be tolerated,” university officials said in a statement.
“The Dean of the School of International Studies and the Grievances Committee have been asked to inquire and submit a report to V-C at the earliest,” the statement added.
Students alleged that the School of International Studies II building’s walls were defaced with slogans against the Brahmin and Baniya communities.
It was written on the walls: “Brahmins Leave the Campus.” “There Will Be Blood,” “Brahmin Bharat Chhodo,” and “Brahmino-Baniyas, we are coming for you! “We will avenge,”
“ABVP condemned the incidents and blamed the communists for this act, saying that they are responsible for writing derogatory languages on the walls of JNU’s School of International Studies II building. “They have defaced the chambers of free-thinking professors to intimidate them,” said ABVP JNU President Rohit Kumar.
A group of JNU teachers condemned the vandalism and held the “left-liberal gang” accountable.
