People’s Union for Civil Liberties | 08 October 2025
People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) India, is shocked at the troubling views expressed by Dr Yogesh Singh, professor and Vice Chancellor Delhi University on 28th September, 2025 in a speech titled “Naxal Mukt Bharat: Ending Red Terror Under Modi’s Leadership, Why Campuses are Targets?’ The speech was addressed to university teachers, students and others and was later emailed to both former and current students of Delhi University, using the vast database available to the university. It was also uploaded on Prof Singh’s official YouTube channel and on his social media platforms. The speech has three dimensions which are particularly troubling from the point of view of the Vice Chancellor’s responsibilities to ensure that he is faithful to constitutional values.
