Jadavpur University still tense, CM Suvendu Adhikari says probe ‘anti-national’ graffiti on campus

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari expressed concerns over "anti-national wall graffiti and drawings" found on the campus of Jadavpur University (JU) amid ongoing tensions after a clash between ABVP and SFI supporters. The CM directed the state university authorities to conduct an investigation and physically verify the allegations.

Adhikari's directive came after a meeting of stakeholders at the university ended without resolution. The Chief Minister's Office received videos and photographs through the CM's Grievance Cell reporting objectionable, violent, and anti-national graffiti on the Arts Division Boys Hostel premises. The West Bengal government has a zero-tolerance policy towards anti-national activities, especially on campuses.
