Madhuri Kundu, secretary of AISA said, “We’re going to try to meet the Vice Chancellor of JNU. There’ll be a human chain.”
The violence
Last Sunday, a violent fight broke-out between the left-wing and right-wing students in the Kaveri Hostel over the serving of meat in the mess on the occasion of Ramnavami
Kundu said, “It started in the afternoon when the meat supplier came to deliver and was threatened. The ABVP said that non-veg won’t be cooked in the mess At, around 7:30 p.m., I saw 20 to 30 students and ABVP members fighting.”
Kundu got kicked and punched in the fight.. She said around 20–30 students got injured and they are being treated at All India Medical Institute’s trauma center.
Mishra from ABVP said that there’s no issue over food. “There’s no issue with food. It’s just created by the left people to create a ruckus over Ramnavami. There are 18 hostels in JNU, everywhere the menu is the same but why did it happen only in Kaveri hostel where the puja was going on,” he said. He added that a member from ABVP sustained a hand injury on the hand.
On Monday, left-wing students were detained by Delhi police while they protested against the right-wing group.
