Chief minister Suvendu Adhikari will be in Jadavpur on Friday to “instil the spirit of nationalism”.
At a news conference on Monday, a section of Jadavpur University teachers gloated that the visit would ring the death knell for “dimaagi Naxals” on the campus.
“Chief minister Suvendu Adhikari will visit Jadavpur on August 28 to instil the spirit of nationalism. Vande Mataram will be sung. His visit will also mark the end of the menace of dimaagi Naxals who thrive at Jadavpur University,” Bhaskar Sardar, president of the JU unit of the RSS teachers’ wing, Akhil Bharatiya Rashtriya Shaikshik Mahasangh, told a news conference.
The Mahasangh hosted the news conference at the university’s central library. At Nabanna, Suvendu vowed to establish nationalism across the state, from its borders to its educational institutions.
“Today, the CMO received some videos from the arts hostel (of JU). Some students have complained. I am not going to name them. I will send the videos to the vice-chancellor. If these videos are true, please take appropriate action. At the arts hostel, some slogans were raised. They are not right for the country,” Suvendu said.
“A nationalist attitude is compulsory.... From our borders to educational institutions, only nationalism will reign. Those who protest against Operation Sindoor and stay mum on (the terror attack in) Pahalgam have no place in a BJP-ruled state. This won’t be allowed....
