Facebook Post by Mr Prakash Nanda, Editor of Geopolitics: A former President of JNU Students Union has written a piece for me as part of the cover story of the forthcoming issue of the weekly that I edit. While going through his piece I came across these which I thought is worth-sharing with friends..... "The incident of 9th Feb. 2016 in JNU, for all those who have been in the campus or know about the varsity was nothing new as such incidences have taken place with impunity in the past. Just to recount the Hawala episode came to limelight after a terrorist Sahabuddhin Ghori was arrested from the campus in the mid nineties. In 1996, the then AISA (student wing of CPI (ML) invited terrorists from the valley to address students in JNU only to be thwarted by nationalist in the campus. In the year 2000, two army men were brutally beaten up during a friendship Mushaira organised by one of the left student organisation cause they protested anti-Indian mushaira being rendered by the participants. In 2009, when more than 70 paramilitary forces were killed in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh, there was celebration in the campus and the Indian flag was burnt by the activist of AISA and other naxal group. Few years back a student of JNU was arrested for having links with Naxals, who held many parts of the country to hostage. These are just a handful of many such instances which have never got the limelight that it deserved. The readers would be surprised to know that no action whatsoever was initiated against all those involved in the incidences mentioned above mostly because they were patronized by vested interest in the campus and also because the media never took these incidences seriously.”
