New Delhi, Dec 2: The vice-chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has requested 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 circulated on social media.
The School of International Studies II building’s walls, according to students, were defaced with anti-Brahmin and anti-Baniya slurs.
“The Vice-Chancellor has taken serious note of the incident of defacing walls and faculty rooms by some unknown elements in SIS, JNU. The administration condemns these exclusivist tendencies on campus. Such incidents will not be tolerated as JNU belongs to all,” the university said in a statement.
“The Dean, School of International Studies, and Grievances Committee have been asked to inquire and submit a report to V-C at the earliest,” the statement read.
Some of the slogans on the walls read Brahmins Leave ‘The Campus’, ‘There Will Be Blood’, ‘Brahmin Bharat Chhodo’, and ‘Brahmino-Baniyas, we are coming for you! We will avenge’, reported PTI.
A teachers’ group of JNU also issued a statement condemning the vandalism and holding the “left-liberal gang” accountable.
