Even as ABVP & Left trade barbs over JNU violence, Opposition rushes to blame Modi govt

Even as reports emerged of a brutal attack on students and professors of JNU on Sunday, many leaders of Opposition jumped in fray and immediately blamed ruling BJP and ABVP for crisis. While Congress in its official reaction blamed police for its inaction and termed violence as a direct result of Centre’s “divisive politics”, party’s Lok Sabha MP Manish Tewari drew parallels with era of Nazi Germany. He described it as “state-sponsored terror”.

Meanwhile, CPM General Secretary Sitaram Yechury alleged that this was a planned attack by BJP government against resistance to its alleged Hindutva nda.
