Scuffle at Jamia Millia Islamia after Jai Shri Ram slogans allegedly targeted Muslim women students
New Delhi: A scuffle broke out at Jamia Millia Islamia University on Tuesday during Diwali celebrations organised by ABVP, after ABVP members allegedly raised "Jai Shri Ram" slogans at Muslim women students. This led to a fight, with intense sloganeering from both sides.
NSUI Jamia Millia Islamia condemned the violence, holding ABVP and its leadership responsible for the unrest on campus. They denounced the involvement of DU vice presidential candidate Bhanu Pratap Singh and called for an end to ABVP's "goon culture" on university campuses.
Similarly, SFI JMI condemned the incident, alleging that Rashtriya Kala Manch, an ABVP-affiliated group, invited outside individuals, including prominent ABVP leaders, who were responsible for escalating the situation. SFI stated that Muslim women students were targeted with communal slogans, which led to violent clashes. Police intervention, including lathi charges, resulted in injuries to university students, while the alleged perpetrators left without facing consequences.
The Fraternity Movement has also strongly condemned the involvement of the university administration, accusing it of siding with RSS-ABVP members. They claim non-student ABVP leaders were present on campus, disrupting the peaceful environment. The organisation stated that the administration allowed these individuals to intimidate students and promote communal agendas under their protection.
The situation has since been brought under control. An official statement from the university and the police mentioning the real cause behind the incident is awaited.
