This narrative is the problem. I start as neutral, blame both sides. Then I see one crying victimhood (portraying everyone else as oppressors). Then I start arguing with their hypocrisy, start listing when they acted as oppressors.., then I become right.
Left has literally shut campus (classes, labs) for more than 70 days. First for hiking hostel fee, now CAA (it keeps finding out new new reasons to call for strike).
That day, students have been registering for the new courses for the next semester. Left issue threats, but they won’t listen. ABVP is helping them to register. At 4 in evening, Left attacks the place violently (video proofs available(, shut the server and internet down so that registration stops (they have accepted in TV studio while debating) and beat ABVP union students who helped with registration. Campus guards are also handled roughly (a lady has spoken on the video).
Night ABVP retaliates. Suddenly media (who had not reported the earlier attack so far) starts calling police to act. BUT police had been criticised by the same media for entering Jadavpur University, couple of days back. This time they act cautious and say, they only act after University sends them a letter. Meanwhile Left students get the taste of their medicine by Right (who probably came covering their face).
In this gang war, some teachers/professors also get caught and hurt.
No need for any group to cry foul. But what I heard (from Twitter) was, JNU has FINALLY resumed (after two months). If so, good.
