Slogans on Kashmir in JNU, blackmailing tactics against VC, stalling of academic activities expose Left’s intellectual bullying
FirstpostWe have been told, all along, that the Left-backed student ‘uprising’ in JNU is over a rise in fees. This so-called ‘uprising’ involved boycotting classes, not allowing faculty members to enter their laboratories, blocking ambulance service for an ailing Dean, holding a female associate Dean hostage for 30 hours, attacking the houses of wardens in the night, abusing and threatening their families, intimidating children or beating up students keen on registering themselves to continue with their studies. Things become a little clearer when we find president of Leftist JNU Students’ Union Aishe Ghosh — whose role during the recent campus violence has come under the spotlight — linking the ‘protests’ in JNU with what “has been happening in Kashmir”. Raising slogans of ‘azadi’ on the JNU campus is one thing, connecting it to the Kashmir issue where the Indian State is fighting battles of separatism and cross-border terrorism for decades is quite another. In other words, if the JNU administration does not give in to its blackmailing tactics, then the administration is ‘fascist’ —a term Leftists use at will.
