Quotes
Convention organiser
An organiser of the Jadavpur University convention
“Campus invasion in Bengal is being carried out in various forms. While campuses like JU and SRFTI are being raided by RSS-linked forces, in the case of ISI, the Narendra Modi government has introduced a Bill to subvert the autonomous governance structure in the name of expediting decision-making. This has to be resisted as well.”
