New Delhi: Several buildings on the campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) were defaced on Thursday with anti-Brahmin slogans, photos of which went viral on the social media, news agency PTI reported.
According to the university students, 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 are "Brahmins Leave The Campus", "There Will Be Blood", "Brahmin Bharat Chhodo" and "Brahmino-Baniyas, we are coming for you! We will avenge."
Is JNU a hate factory ?

RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) accused the left of 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," PTI quoted ABVP JNU President Rohit Kumar as saying.
"We believe that academic spaces must be used for debates and discussion and not for poisoning the society and students' community," Kumar further added.
Meanwhile, a teachers' body of the university too posted a tweet condemning the act of vandalism. They held responsible the "left-liberal gang" for the act.
Taking to Twitter, the JNU Teachers’ Forum wrote, "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!"
