Jawaharlal Nehru University Vice-Chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit stated that a "lunatic fringe" does not represent the university, following recent student slogans against national leaders. She emphasized JNU's nationalistic character and peaceful environment, noting that such incidents do not define the institution. Pandit highlighted JNU's global recognition and its role in fostering diverse narratives, asserting that the university bounced back quickly after the protest.
