BJP spokesperson Ashish Sood has voiced sharp criticism against the sloganeering controversy at JNU, asserting that violence has no role in political expression. The remarks follow reports of disruptive protests on the prestigious university campus.
‘Politics should be about ideas, not violence or provocative slogans,’ Sood declared, calling for an end to such disruptive activities. The JNU incident involved students chanting contentious slogans, leading to chaos and police intervention.
JNU, a hub for left-leaning activism, frequently witnesses clashes over nationalistic issues. Sood highlighted the importance of fostering a peaceful environment for education, warning that unchecked militancy harms the nation’s youth.
Political leaders from various parties have weighed in, with some defending the protests as democratic rights. However, Sood’s position reflects growing concerns over campus radicalism. The event has reignited discussions on free speech versus public order in Indian universities.
