In the video one can hear a man, believed to be Rosina Nasir’s husband Anwar Syed Faizullah Hashmi, trying to teach a kid to shout “Hindustan Murdarabad” and “Pakistan Zindabad”.
Hashmi’s wife had accused the JNU administration of discrimination
Rosina Nasir had earlier accused the JNU administration, including vice-chancellor Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar and chairperson of CSSEIP Yagati Chinna Rao, of targeted harassment, exploitation and discrimination in 2019 because of her religious identity. In her letter to the chairman of the DMC, she claimed, “It seems to me if I will not quit the faculty position in the CSSEIP, I will be made to disappear like Najeeb (JNU student who went missing three years ago from his hostel and is still untraceable).”
She had alleged that she was not being paid for months as an attempt to force her to quit her job at JNU. Rosina is currently an assistant professor at the School of Social Sciences at JNU. There is also an ongoing case between Rosina Nasir and Jawahar Lal University in the Delhi High Court, which is scheduled for the next hearing in September related to non-payment of salary for several months.
