For the past two days, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership has been holding rallies outside Jadavpur University protesting against the death of a first-year student of the university. On Friday, Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari visited the residence of the deceased student and spoke to his parents. The BJP leader said that parents should approach Courts for an impartial investigation.
The same day, a scuffle ensued between BJP supporters and the police after the latter removed a stage set up by BJP leadership in front of the university. A few BJP supporters were taken into custody even as BJP cadre held protests outside Jadavpur University. Mr. Adhikari, who had addressed a public meeting outside Jadavpur University on Thursday, took to social media platform X to say that everyone was “rattled by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha’s agitation, who are determined to weed out the anti-national & anti-social elements from the University Campus”.
