BJP calls Jadavpur University a ‘hub of anti-nationals’, blames Trinamool for the impasse

The Hindu  

Amid tensions prevailing at Kolkata’s Jadavpur University, the West Bengal unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday took out a rally in the Jadavpur area and called the university a “hub of anti-nationals” and blamed the ruling Trinamool Congress for the ongoing impasse at the State-run university. With the scuffle between a section of students and State Education Minister Bratya Basu on March 1 bringing the Left parties and the Trinamool face-to-face, the BJP and its allies have been trying to precipitate the situation with supporters of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad trying to storm the university, and on Sunday the party hitting the streets. This is not the first time that the West Bengal BJP leadership had targeted the Jadavpur University students calling them “anti-nationals” and terming the university a hub of “urban Naxals”. Following the incident, students vandalised the venue of the convention of West Bengal College University Professors’ Association and attacked the office of Trinamool Congress employees’ union on March 1.
