While some television
channels, through a combination of unethical playing to the gallery (and to the
Modi regime), have portrayed ‘JNU students’ as antinational Leftists, Pakistani
agents etc, a video has surfaced that has gone viral over social media that
allegedly shows identifiable ABVP students shouting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans.
The four students who are
seen in the video shouting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans, have been identified as
ABVP activists (one of them has even been identified by name as Shruti
Agnihotri), seen leading protests elsewhere in ABVP demonstrations.
It is of course, a
question that no one in the electronic media (print was different this time)
sought to even ask themselves – as to who would be interested in shouting
‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans? This is a purely RSS/ABVP/Hindutva obsession. No
Leftist that I know of (and I think I know almost all shades by now) would have
any reason to shout something as stupid and meaningless as ‘Pakistan Zindabad’!
Now, the exchange below also puts things in perspective.
We do not of course,
vouch for the authenticity of this video. We wait to be refuted and to be told that all this is doctored but the point will still remain,
as one of the participants in the
exchange below states, what a curious coincidence that only Zee News had access to the video that showed ‘students’
shouting pro-Pakistan slogans!
Any enquiry into the
incident must take into account this video, investigate its authenticity, and
take stern measures if it is proved to be accurate.
