‘Put the past behind’: JNU V-C reaches out to students, assures of normalcy

The Vice-Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University has reached out to students after the violence on Sunday, urging them to “make a new beginning”. “The incident that took place on Sunday is unfortunate. Our campus is known for debates and discussions in resolving issues, violence is not a solution. We will find every opportunity to make sure that normalcy returns to the university,” Vice-Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar said on Tuesday. His remarks came after attack from the JNU Students' Union (JNUSU) in the wake of the Sundays violence. The JNUSU has accused Kumar of behaving like a “mobster” and of “perpetrating violence” in the university. They have also called for his resignation.
