Recalling events that led to JNU brawl over ‘non-veg food, Ram Navami pooja’

On Sunday evening, six students were injured as members of Left groups and the RSS students’ outfit ABVP clashed on the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus. While the latter alleged Ram Navami celebrations were obstructed, the former said it was the ABVP that initiated the violence over serving of non-vegetarian food inside Kaveri hostel.

Every Sunday, meat is supplied in all hostels of JNU. But ABVP members, according to sources in the mess and hostel committee, told the mess manager on Saturday evening to avoid meat this time in view of the Ram Navami – four poojas were held across the campus on the day.
