New Delhi: Reports have emerged of walls in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) being defaced with anti-India and anti-Hindu slogans, reminiscent of a similar incident in December last year. The slogans included phrases like "Free Kashmir," "Bhagwa Jalega" (Saffron will burn), and derogatory slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In a viral video, several walls on the JNU campus were seen covered in graffiti with messages such as "Free Palestine," "Free IOK," and "Modi Teri Kabr Khudegi" (Modi, your grave will be dug). "NRC" (National Register of Citizens) and "CAA" (Citizenship Amendment Act) were defaced and crossed out, and the message "Free Sharjeel" was also written on the walls.
एक बार फिर JNU में कट्टरता की हद पार हो गई है।

JNU की दीवारों पर - भगवा जलेगा, फ्री कश्मीर, तेरी कब्र खुदेगी, अल्लाह हूँ अकबर के नारे लिखे गए है।
कौन है यह जो देश और सनातन दोनों का विरोधी है?

Additionally, "Free G.N. Sai" appeared on the campus walls, referring to GN Saibaba, who was sentenced to life in prison for his involvement with the Revolutionary Democratic Front (RDF) in 2017. However, Saibaba's acquittal by the Bombay High Court in 2022 was later overturned by the Supreme Court, and the case was remanded for reconsideration.
The perpetrators behind these anti-Hindu and anti-India slogans at the JNU campus remain unidentified, and no individual or group has claimed responsibility for the incident. In response to the slogans, ABVP Secretary Vikas Patel stated that they would submit a memorandum to the administration.

This incident has raised concerns about the security and image of JNU, and Dr. Pravesh Kumar, SIS, JNU professor, condemned the act. The police have yet to take action in the matter.
In a similar incident that occurred in December last year at Delhi's JNU, controversial slogans were written on the walls of several buildings on the university campus, including professors' offices. These slogans targeted the Brahmin and Vaishya communities, with messages such as "Brahmin-Baniya, we are coming for you," "We will avenge," "Brahmins, leave the campus," "Brahmins, leave India," "Now there will be blood," and "Go back to Sakha," among others.
