the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus on Sunday.
“The brutal attack on JNU students & teachers by
masked thugs, that has left many seriously injured, is shocking. The fascists
in control of our nation, are afraid of the voices of our brave students.
Today”s violence in JNU is a reflection of that fear. #SOSJNU,” he said, in a
