Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, voiced his disapproval of the unrest at Lovely Professional University (LPU) in Punjab. Dipke took to X to share a video purportedly showing a female student claiming armed outsiders had entered the girls' hostel. He highlighted the safety concerns, stating that a university campus should be a sanctuary for women, and they shouldn't have to protest for their basic right to safety.
"If women don’t feel safe even inside their hostels, we have a serious problem," Dipke remarked. He expressed his concern over the escalating protests over the weekend, which began due to an alleged rape and suicide case involving a female student. The unrest intensified with reports of vandalism, arson, damaged police vehicles, and explosions within the university premises.
Following the violence, LPU halted mid-term exams and suspended classes for 10 days. Many students left their homes as police presence increased. The university recommended students to stay within their hostels or residences, avoiding unnecessary movement.
