ABVP Paints 'Free PoK' Slogans Amid Graffiti Dispute at Jadavpur University
At Jadavpur University, a graffiti dispute continues as ABVP members painted 'Free PoK' and 'Akhand Bharat' slogans following the university's whitewashing of earlier political graffiti, including 'Free Palestine' messages. This shift follows West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari's call to replace certain slogans with ones supporting Pakistan-occupied Kashmir's liberation. Left student groups defend their graffiti as political expression, while university authorities urge balancing free speech with national integrity and discourage defacing property.
