The Jawaharlal Nehru University of Delhi is back in the news for another controversy. Two groups clashed on the eve of Ram Navami inside the University campus on the issue of eating non-vegetarian food. There have been protests inside and outside the university. Now, the administration has taken action against the protesters.
After saffron flags were seen outside the campus along with 'Bhagwa JNU' posters on Friday, the Delhi Police said that the flags have been removed and suitable legal action will be taken against the ones found guilty.
"Today morning it has come to notice that few flags and banners have been put on the road and adjoining areas near JNU. In view of recent incidents, the flags got promptly removed and suitable legal action is being taken", said Delhi Police.
This comes in the wake of a recent clash between students that took place at the university campus on Ram Navami on April 10. This followed tension between two groups of students - Left activists and ABVP members.
