Jamia campus tense after slogans on Jinnah

In a Facebook post, he wrote, “Jin bhi bandhuon ko Jinnah ka samarthan karna hai evam Jamia ke Hindu vidyarthiyon ko dhamkana hai, aaj shaam 6 baje Jullena Evergreen Sweets aaye, unki sutayi ka poora bandobast rakha gaya hai”. Tiwari told The Indian Express that the part on beating up students was written “sarcastically” but accepted that a protest was called by them.

By night the campus had become a scene of protests, with students asking that the slogan shouters be identified and action taken against them.

The ABVP, the students wing of the RSS, also condemned the slogans. “Such communal slogans should not have been raised. We condemn this,” said Asif Aftab, Jamia ABVP unit secretary.

Media Coordinator Saima Saeed said, “These unidentified people didn’t enter the campus, only marched on the road and crossed a university gate.”
