The Jawaharlal Nehru University row took another turn on Wednesday after three members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) resigned from their posts stating the current government’s actions were “hooliganism, not nationalism”.
“JNU is the most nationalist institution in the country. I do not support the government’s stand over the issue. Let Supreme Court find Kanhaiya guilty and award him life imprisonment. But let the law take its course. There should be no ‘Taliban culture’ in India,” said Pradeep Narwal, former Joint Secretary of JNU unit of ABVP said a day after he posted his resignation on his Facebook page.
Rahul Yadav, president of the School of Social Sciences ABVP unit and Ankit Hans, secretary of the same unit, were also named in the letter that stated they were disassociating themselves from the student wing of the BJP because of how “the NDA government was tackling the whole issue”. Narwal further cited the long standing difference of opinion with the BJP on Manusmriti, the traditional Hindu law book, and the Rohith Vemula incident as reasons behind the decision to quit ABVP.
Narwal also hit out at the media, Zee News in particular, for attacking JNU as an institution in whole. “People are circulating #SHUTDOWNJNU but I think they must circulate #SHUTDOWNZEENEWS… this biased news media related the act done by few people to the whole student community. We condemn the media trial which has culminated in an anti-JNU sentiment throughout the country… JNU is considered as one of the progressive and democratic institution where we can see intermingling of people from lower to upper income strata of the society, notion of equality,” Narwal said.
