New Delhi: Upping its ante against the JNU administration, the ABVP on Sunday lodged two police complaints against the varsity’s associate dean for giving permission to the controversial Afzal Guru event and professor Nivedita Menon for her alleged remarks justifying pro-azadi slogans on Kashmir. JNU Students’ Union Joint Secretary Saurabh Sharm, who is the lone ABVP member in the union, lodged a complaint at Vasant Kunj police station.
In his complaint Sharma has given statements attributing it to Menon. “Everyone knows that India is illegally occupying Kashmir. It is said the world over. Everybody accepts (it),” one of the statements attributed to Menon in the complaint said. “This attracts criminal prosecution and appropriate action must be taken in this regard,” Sharma said.
The RSS’s student wing also lodged a police complaint against the JNU associate dean for giving permission for the February 9 event against hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised. “I request you to kindly take strong action against the concerned authority that had given permission and silently supported February 9 programme,” Saurabh said.
The Joint Secretary also alleged that he has already given a complaint to the JNU administration but no action has been taken after which he approached police. The university had taken back the permission 15 minutes before the event was to start after Sharma had complained about the event on February 9 but the organisers had gone ahead with the programme.
