Outrage erupted after anti-Brahmin slogans were written on the walls of several buildings located on the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus. Apart from defacing the walls with slogans threatening bloodshed, the leftist goons had also written ‘Go back to Sakha’ on the doors of the chambers of several professors. Now Supreme Court lawyer Vineet Jindal has filed a police complaint against the matter.
OpIndia has accessed the copy of the complaint lodged by Vineet Jindal with DCP South West and SHO Vasant Kunj. In his complaint, Jindal alleged that leftist goons wrote hateful slogans and threatening messages to kill students belonging to Brahmin and Baniya Hindus. “I have come to the knowledge of the same from news reports and being a social activist and member the of Vaishya community filling this complaint. That slogans against Brahmin and Vaishya communities have been written on the walls of the School of International Studies-II building on the university campus,” the complaint reads.
Some of the hateful slogans written on the campus walls were “Brahmin-Baniya, we are coming for you”, “We will avenge”, “Brahmins Leave the campus”, “Brahmins leave India”, “Now there will be blood”, “Go back to Sakha.”
Jindal in his complaint pointed out that the JNU campus has earlier also witnessed “anti-national” incidents organised by the Leftists. Referring to a 2019 incident, Jindal mentioned that a woman professor was held hostage for three days and that chambers of independent-thinking professors were defaced with ‘Go Back To Shakha’ slogans.
Jindal urged the police to take strong legal action against those people involved in the hateful act.
