JNU Wall Defacement: University Issues Advisory Asking All Centres To Install CCTV Cameras

In wake of the incident, Vice-Chancellor Santishree D. Pandit on Friday asked the students and staff members to be vigilant so that such incidents can be prevented in future.

New Delhi: In an advisory issued by Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), it has asked all its centres to install CCTV cameras in the buildings, news agency PTI reported. According to the advisory a single entry/exit point will be made in all school centres. This comes a day after the walls in the university were defaced with ‘anti-Brahmin’ slogans.

The walls in JNU’s School of International Studies (SIS)- II building were defaced with graffiti, asking members of the Brahmin and Baniya communities to leave the campus and the country.

In wake of the incident, Vice-Chancellor Santishree D. Pandit on Friday asked the students and staff members to be vigilant so that such incidents can be prevented in future.

In a statement, JNU Registrar Ravikesh said that VC Pandit has visited SIS-I and SIS-II on Friday and took stock of the situation.

She also interacted with the students, staff and faculty members and asked them to be vigilant so that such incidents are prevented in future, the statement said.

"The Vice-Chancellor has appealed to the JNU community to maintain the JNU ethos of inclusion, equality and harmony on the campus," it said.

The teacher and student bodies on Friday also urged the JNU administration to conduct a free and fair probe to ensure peace on the university campus.

Notably, 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.

Taking to Twitter, the JNU Teachers’ Forum also 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!"
