New Delhi: Days after the violence that took place in JNU, the blame game has started over the people behind the act. The left parties are accusing the ABVP of violence, while the ABVP has blamed the student units of the Left parties solely for the violence, calling it a big conspiracy.
Talking to ETV Bharat, the national secretary of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) Srinivas has strongly condemned the JNU incident calling it a conspiracy against the ABVP and also demanded a high-level inquiry into it.
Earlier in a conversation with ETV Bharat, the senior leader of Marxist Communist Party Vrinda Karat, however, had directly alleged that some outsiders and the ABVP activists carried out the JNU violence. She further added that when she visited AIIMS, only a few students were from ABVP while the rest 17 students were from the left-wing.
CPIM general secretary Sitaram Yechury also said that during the violence, the mob was raising slogans of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', which clearly shows from whose side they had come.
However, in response to this, the national leader of ABVP raised the question that if so many left-wing students were injured, then why instead of releasing the pictures of everyone, they are circulating the picture of only one student on the social media. As far as the slogan is concerned, anyone in this country can raise slogans of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'.
On the question of raising slogans, Srinivas also raised the issue of JNU when the slogans of Aazadi were raised in 2016.

Students organizations coming from two different ideologies are accusing each other of JNU violence and in the meantime, a man who described himself as the leader of the Hindu Raksha Dal came took responsibility for the JNU violence saying he sent his people to the JNU campus.
On this matter, the ABVP leader has said that such a person should be arrested immediately and it should also be investigated if he is a part of any propaganda carried in the name of the Hindu Raksha Dal, only to discredit Hindu organizations.
Serious questions were also raised over the police action, as well as on the JNU Vice-Chancellor and the JNU administration alleging that they did not allow Delhi Police to enter the campus on time, while they stood outside the university in heavy numbers.
Later, when the Lieutenant Governor tweeted that he had instructed the police to bring the situation under control, then the VC allowed the police to enter the campus.
In response to this question, the leader of ABVP said that in the name of culture, JNU did not allow the police inside the campus and even protested against the installation of CCTV cameras, so pointing fingers at the police is of no use.
But now after the recent incident of violence and in view of the security situation, stopping the police should immediately stop. He further said that appropriate action should be taken so that these incidents do not take place in future.
The ABVP also demanded a high-level inquiry into the entire incident and appealed to all students to cooperate in maintaining peace and normalcy in the JNU campus.
