This statement comes after several buildings on the campus of JNU were defaced on Thursday with anti-Brahmin slogans, photos of which went viral on social media, news agency PTI reported.

As per the report, students claimed that the walls in the School of International Studies- II building were vandalised with slogans against Brahmin and Baniya communities.

Some of the slogans on the wall read "Brahmins Leave The Campus", "There Will Be Blood", "Brahmin Bharat Chhodo" and "Brahmino-Baniyas, we are coming for you! We will avenge."

 

RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad accused the left of being responsible for the vandalisation. "ABVP condemns the rampant vandalisation of academic spaces by communist goons. The communists have written abuses on the walls of JNU in the School of International Studies- II building. They have defaced chambers of free-thinking professors to intimidate them," said ABVP JNU President Rohit Kumar, as quoted by PTI.

"We believe that academic spaces must be used for debates and discussion and not for poisoning the society and students' community," he added.

A JNU teachers' body also posted a tweet condemning the act of vandalism, holding responsible the "left-liberal gang" for it.

While the Left-Liberal gang intimidate every dissenting voice, they appeal to elect EC representatives that "can assert the values of mutual respect and civility, & equal & just treatment of all."
'civility' & 'mutual respect'.
Highly deplorable act of vandalism! pic.twitter.com/pIMdIO9QsX
