JNU Students File Complaint Against Websites That Falsely Accused Them Of Celebrating Sukma Naxal Attack
The Jawaharlal Nehru
University Students' Union on Thursday filed a complaint against two websites
for allegedly spreading malicious reports that the students were glorifying the
Sukma naxal attack.
"The websites
www.srishtanews.com and www.dainikbharat.com are spreading reports claiming
that JNU students are glorifying the Sukma naxal attack," JNUSU president
Mohit Kumar Pandey said.
The pictures linked
with the reports are of celebrations in September 2015 and the 2013 JNUSU
elections, and another picture was taken when former JNUSU president Kanhaiya
Kumar got bail in 2016, he added.
He alleged that the
websites had ideologies similar to that of the BJP and the RSS and the reports
were spread widely. "Spread of such
content is maligning JNU students who are actively participating in several
social service activities. Students and faculties are getting threats of
murder, rape and are being abused because of this," Mohit said. "We request you
to register an FIR against people who are behind such websites and make sure
that such incidents are not repeated," he said in the complaint.
The police officials
confirmed that the complaint is being currently examined.
