“Violence in JNU reminds us of Nazi rule 90 years ago-Surjewala..

New Delhi, Jan 06 (HS):  Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala accused the JNU administration of being complicit in the violent attack on Sunday night. “Violence in JNU reminds us of Nazi rule 90 years ago,” he added.

The manner in which students and teachers were attacked and the manner in which police remained mute spectators shows that there is no democracy in the country-said Surjewala.

He said that if the youth raise their voice against the attack on democracy and the Constitution, their dissent is suppressed. Government-sponsored terrorism and hooliganism are not going to happen. These goons belonged to BJP and ABVP. All this was happening with the silent consent of the Vice-Chancellor. All this happened with the silent support of Amit Shah. He said, ‘We strongly condemn it.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that the attack on students is because of intolerance. The Nazi-style attack on students and teachers on the campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University has been done by those who want to create an atmosphere of unrest and violence in the country. The Sangh Parivar should withdraw from this dangerous game of bloodshed on the campus. It would be good if they understand the voice of the students as the voice of the nation.

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s husband Robert Vadra has expressed sorrow over the violence that took place on Sunday at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University. Robert Vadra said that such incidents should not happen in a large institution like JNU, the government should stop such incidents. Robert Vadra said that ‘ JNU is a big institution, I am very sad and upset that this kind of incident has happened. The world is seeing what is happening in the country’s capital, Delhi, it is shameful.

Congress leader Digvijay Singh and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati have demanded strict action. Mayavati has condemned the JNU incident  and demanded an independent inquiry

Mayawati said, ‘Violence with students and teachers in JNU is highly condemnable and shameful. The central government should take this incident very seriously. It will be better if a judicial inquiry is ordered.

Digvijay Singh said, ‘ I strongly condemn the assault by the goons of ABVP after entering the hostels of JNU girls at night. Delhi Police kept watching. Is India’s Home Minister not responsible? The Home Minister should either take strict action or resign.
