After AMU, right wingers target Jamia, raise ‘communal, provocative slogans’ outside the University

Around two dozen people allegedly associated with a right wing outfit gathered at the main gate of Jamia Millia Islamia University and raised communal and provocative slogans, reported the Caravan Daily. 

The incident happens amid the controversy in Aligarh Muslim University over a portrait of Mohammad Ali Jinnah rages on.

According to the report, after a few minutes of sloganeering, the saffron activists returned. Eyewitnesses said they were raising highly communal and provocative slogans like, Jinnah premi bharat chhodo (Those who love Jinnah, must leave India), Hinduon ko darana band karo (Stop terrorizing Hindus) and Vande Mataram.

The university administration has termed the incident as “unfortunate”.

Confirming the incident, Saima Sayeed, PRO, Jamia Millia told Caravan Daily, “Though they did not enter the campus and remained on the road, this is still unfortunate. It is an important time for us because the exams have just started in the university. Such incident has never happened.”
