JNU: RSS cadres hold march with saffron flags and sticks, hold meeting inside campus
24 October 2023 | The Telegraph
RSS cadres on Sunday held a march with saffron flags and sticks inside JNU and held a meeting on the campus, marking two firsts in the organisation's history that reflected its efforts to expand its network in an institution known as a Left bastion.
Nearly 200 cadres in dark-brown trousers and white shirts — the RSS uniform — held the march from the main gate to the university’s administrative block, where they held the meeting.
Except for a few JNU students who are also members of RSS student arm ABVP, most of the participants were outsiders.
The JNU administration had in 2018 banned any form of protest or meeting within 100 metres of the administrative block. The restriction is still in force. Yet the RSS cadres held the meeting and sang “Jago toh ekbar Hindu jago toh (Wake up Hindus)”.
