The Communist Party of India-Marxist CPI(M) on Monday demanded sacking of Jawaharlal Nehru University Vice-Chancellor for his "complicity in permitting the attack" on students and teachers in the campus.
Strongly condemning the Sunday's attack, the Left party said, "It is inexplicable that the Vice-Chancellor and the university authorities allowed outsiders to go on rampage for hours before asking for police
intervention."
"This also came after Delhi Lt Governor directed the police to maintain law and order and punish the culprits", said the CPI(M) Polit Bureau in a statement.
Questioning Vice-Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar for the attack, the CPI(M) charged that, "the VC who has been instrumental in systematically undermining and dismantling the country's premier university had permitted this rampage to go on unchecked for hours."
"The Vice-Chancellor should be sacked for this complicity in permitting this attack", it demanded.
The Left party has also alleged that the perpetrators belong to RSS-BJP and said, "from the slogans that these outsiders were shouting, it is clear that they are part of the RSS-BJP".
"Unlike what the Union Home Minister sought to portray as a clash between two groups, the video recordings of this rampage, that have gone viral, and the screen shots of WhatsApp groups like 'Unite Against the Left' clearly show that this attack was pre-planned and executed with the full knowledge of the authorities", it further alleged.
The CPI(M) added that the President of India as the Visitor of the University must immediately
sack the Vice-Chancellor and ensure that normalcy prevails in the campus.
