NSUI President Condemns Violence at JNU, Criticizes ABVP Influence on Campus

In response to the alleged attack on ABVP students at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), NSUI National President Vinod Jakhar expressed concern over the campus environment influenced by the RSS-affiliated student wing. Jakhar condemned the violence that erupted during a protest rally at JNU, where clashes between students of different ideological groups occurred.
The JNUSU organized an “Equality March” demanding the resignation of Vice-Chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit over alleged “casteist” remarks and other issues. The protest also called for the revocation of rustication orders against four student office-bearers.
Jakhar criticized the ABVP for allegedly operating with impunity on campuses nationwide, creating a dictatorial atmosphere. He emphasized the need to prevent violence on campus and assured that NSUI would strive for a peaceful environment.
During a meeting with Rahul Gandhi, Jakhar received encouragement to work diligently and fulfill his responsibilities. Gandhi appointed Jakhar as the NSUI President, recognizing his previous leadership roles in student unions.
