ABVP's Statement After Stone Pelting in JNU

Condemning the incident, ABVP said alleged that the Left-wing students tried to halt the screening of The Sabarmati Report putting life of many students at risk.

"The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), JNU, strongly condemns the cowardly and reprehensible attack that took place during the screening of The Sabarmati Report at Sabarmati Dhaba, JNU. Stones were pelted at the peaceful audience by unidentified miscreants, putting the lives of hundreds of students and attendees at grave risk. This barbaric act is not just an attack on a group of individuals but an assault on freedom of expression, dialogue, and democratic values that this university is known for.

The screening of The Sabarmati Report was a step towards unveiling the truth and igniting a discussion on topics deliberately silenced by the so-called intellectual elite of our country. However, this incident demonstrates the intolerance and insecurity of certain anti-Bharat, anti-Hindu forces within our campus who fear the resurgence of dharma, righteousness, and truth.

Such elements thrive on deceit, propaganda, and a twisted narrative that seeks to dismantle the cultural and spiritual fabric of our nation. They cannot tolerate any voice that challenges their agenda or exposes their lies. These are the same forces that openly support divisive ideologies, glorify anti-national slogans, and oppose any initiative aimed at strengthening Bharat’s cultural identity.

ABVP JNU assures everyone that we will continue to organize events that inspire thought, debate, and action for a united and prosperous Bharat. Together, we will defeat these anti-national, anti-dharmic, and breaking-India forces."
