Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi saw yet another face-off between different student groups on 19 February 2023.
RSS' student wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad claimed that a portrait of historical Maratha ruler Shivaji was vandalised on his birth anniversary. The ABVP blamed students affiliated to Left groups.
In response, the JNU Students' Union claimed that ABVP members attacked students after they took out a march over a recent death at IIT Bombay. The protestors were seeking justice for Darshan Solanki, a Scheduled Caste student who allegedly committed suicide after facing discrimination.
ABVP denied the allegation.
