“While the left-liberal gang intimidates any dissenting voice, it calls for the election of EC representatives who ‘know how to uphold the values of mutual respect and civility and equal and fair treatment of all’.” ‘Citizenship’ and ‘mutual respect’. A highly deplorable act of vandalism!,” the JNU Teachers Forum tweeted. As photos of the slogans went viral on social media, “Brahmin lives matter” started popping up.
The authorities issued a statement assuring that the university belongs to all. “The Vice-Chancellor Prof Santishree D Pandit has taken serious note of the incident of defacement of faculty walls and rooms by some unknown elements at SIS, JNU. The administration condemns these exclusivist tendencies on campus,” the statement said. The ABVP condemned the incident and accused the Left of vandalism. “ABVP condemns the rampant vandalism of academic premises by communist goons. Communists wrote abuses on the walls of JNU in the School of International Studies-II building. They defaced the chambers of free-thinking professors to intimidate them,” ABVP JNU said President Rohit Kumar.
