Delhi: The Vice-Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has ordered for an enquiry into the defacement of walls and faculty rooms by some unknown elements in School of International Studies (SIS), JNU. The Dean of SIS and the Grievances Committee have been asked to inquire and submit a report to the VC at the earliest.
Ironically, on Thursday, several buildings on the JNU campus were defaced with anti-Brahmin slogans, photos of which were shared on social media. Students claimed that the walls in the School of International Studies - II building were vandalised with slogans against Brahmin and Baniya communities.
There was no immediate reaction from JNU Administration on the incidents. Some of the slogans on the wall are "Brahmins Leave The Campus", "There Will Be Blood", "Brahmin Bharat Chhodo" and "Brahmino-Baniyas, we are coming for you! We will avenge."
RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) accused the left organisations of resorting to vandalism. "The ABVP condemns the rampant vandalisation of academic spaces by communist goons. The communists have written abuses on the walls of JNU in the School of International Studies - II building. They have defaced chambers of free-thinking professors to intimidate them," said ABVP JNU President Rohit Kumar.
"We believe that academic spaces must be used for debates and discussion and not for poisoning the society and students' community", Kumar added.
