New Delhi: It is shocking and horrifying to see live telecast of “masked men entering JNU hostels and attacking students”, Congress leader P Chidambaram said on Sunday and alleged that such an “act of impunity can only happen with the support of the government”.
A clash broke out between members of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Students’ Union and the ABVP on the university campus on Sunday.
The Left-controlled students’ union and the ABVP blamed each other for the attack.
“What we are seeing on Live TV is shocking and horrifying. Masked men enter JNU hostels and attack students. What is the Police doing? Where is the Police Commissioner?” the former finance minister tweeted.
“If it is happening on live TV, it is an act of impunity and can only happen with the support of the government. This is beyond belief,” he wrote on the microblogging site.

Where is the LG of Delhi, legatee of the President’s powers … The CM of Delhi cannot transfer a constable.
beyond belief. we have to resit this slide of India into goonda-raj.
These are the cradles of Indian civilisation, much more than our temples and churches and mosques. These should be protected from all efforts at desecration and defilement. The Delhi Police is so efficient, has so many personnel / vehicles / resources, not a leaf can be plucked if they do not will it. See the impeccable, five rings of security they provide at the Red Fort on 15th August.
