SP, BSP condemn JNU attack, seek judicial probe
Lucknow: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati have condemned the violence inside the Jawaharlal Nehru University in which students and teachers were attacked by masked persons.
At a press conference here, Akhilesh Yadav hit out at the Centre and said that masked men attacking teachers and students in the JNU shows how ‘low’ the government will stoop to establish the rule of fear.
“The BJP is using violence and hatred to polarise society and stifle dissent. The ABVP are acting like the storm troopers of the BJP,” he said.
Akhilesh said that the attack on Sunday night was well planned and well orchestrated. He sought a judicial probe into the attack.
The BSP has termed the mob attack as shameful and demanded a judicial probe into the incident.
“The violence against students and teachers in the JNU is shameful and condemnable. The Centre should take it seriously and it would be better to order a judicial probe into it,” Mayawati said in a tweet in Hindi on Monday.
Violence had broken out inside the JNU on Sunday night as masked men armed with sticks and rods attacked students and teachers and damaged property on the campus, prompting the administration to call in police, which conducted a flag march.
At least 28 people, including JNU Students’ Union president Aishe Ghosh, were injured as chaos reigned on the campus for nearly two hours.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
