ABVP Paints ‘Free PoK’ and ‘Akhand Bharat’ Slogans at Jadavpur
A student group called ABVP painted new messages on walls at Jadavpur University.
Some messages said “Free PoK,” “Akhand Bharat,” and “Free Aksai Chin.”
Earlier, university officials had removed political writing from the campus walls.
This happened after Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari warned against slogans described as anti-national.
ABVP said its new writing was meant to support nationalism.
The group also said students who support its views are joining it.
The graffiti replaced a campus situation where political messages had previously appeared.
The university’s wall-writing dispute has therefore started again.
ABVP painted slogans at several locations across Jadavpur University on Saturday.
The graffiti included messages supporting “Free PoK,” “Akhand Bharat,” and “Free Aksai Chin.”
University authorities had earlier erased political graffiti from campus walls.
The removal followed a warning from Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari about allegedly anti-national slogans.
ABVP media-in-charge Ananta Barui said the new writings promoted nationalism and reflected the organisation’s expansion on campus.
