Bengal Minister Dilip Ghosh threatens ‘surgical strikes’ at Jadavpur University amid ABVP-SFI face-off
Questions have also been raised at the university authorities, who till August 21 morning, have not registered a formal police complaint on the issue of ABVP volunteers trespassing on campus
On August 21, 2026, West Bengal Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Dilip Ghosh threatened to launch more "surgical strikes" at Jadavpur University if anti-national slogans are raised. Ghosh, who is in charge of Panchayat and Rural Development, stated that the Trinamool had previously allowed the anti-national activities to continue.
He added that their people had carried out "surgical strikes" in the past, specifically targeting the SFI office, which was subsequently demolished. Ghosh warned that if anti-national movements are seen at the university again or if slogans are raised, there will be further "surgical strikes."
