Clear case of yellow journalism by media. I decided to share a video of one of the rally goers.
Note: I was not in the rally but I do know that my JU brothers cannot resort to anti nationalistic activities.
Above, immediate reaction of Shounak Mukhpadhyay, after today's controversy..
One of my JU batch-mates who is in fetsu has clarified his stance on this issue.
We decided in GB, we're not going to shout any "pro-Afjal" or "anti-India" slogan.
The common decision of the rally goers was not to have such slogan.
2 protesters among 500 had slogans for 5 minutes in the rally which lasted for 1:30 hours.
Media showed only those 5 minutes. Despite that, press was called immediately, where the organizers' stand was once again made clear.
Still the media will try to defame our University, as they have always tried to do so.
We'll fight this yellow journalism, everyone being united. Gathering tomorrow, 1:30pm.
Here is the official stand of JU on these matter. As usual Indian media rides high on nationalism and less on ground realities.
I get your pain. However, why take out a rally in favor of anti-national students from JNU in first place if JU is so pro-India, knowing the fact that this is not the right time to take out a rally in favor of jihadis / naxal of JNU? Also, first take out a rally shout anti India slogans and then claim ohhh our rally was hijacked by criminal elements....won't work!!
Your claim that Indian media is nationalistic is laughable. Leave the sloganeering students aside, watch NDTV which covered the rally in detail and I was shocked to see the opinion of so called bhadralok bong students in the rally....your friend from above tweet was also interviewed.....sorry.....yellow journalism I can agree, however to cover anti-national activities of JU you calling media nationalistic is laughable. .....are you saying JU has been put in bad light by nationalists and not by those hundreds of bongs supporting jihadis?????
Note: I'm not saying all the students in the rally were naxal bongs, there could have hundreds of jihadis in that rally (we know the situation in WB). We know it for sure leftists / naxal work closely with jihadis and Breaking India forces, situation of WB is a fertile ground to breed such a coalition, one factor being evident that bong Hindus will never take out a rally against malda, deganga riots & murshidabad genocide, however will become strom troopers for jihadi naxals of JNU.
