Jawaharlal Nehru University professor emerita Zoya Hasan’s scheduled address at Sardar Patel Vidyalaya’s Independence Day function was cancelled hours before the event after two school security personnel reportedly told her that there was a “threat” to her and the students.
Hasan told TOI that she had been invited by the school principal a month earlier and was due to hoist the national flag and address students and parents at 10am on the topic “Why pluralism matters”.
