JNU Erupts: Clash Over VC's Podcast Remarks, Students Injured in Late-Night Brawl

• A late-night clash erupted between Left and Right-affiliated student organizations at JNU, leading to injuries and stone-pelting.
• The dispute began during an 'equality march' demanding the resignation of Vice-Chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit and withdrawal of student leader suspensions.
• JNUSU accused ABVP of attacking the peaceful march, while ABVP claimed Left-affiliated groups initiated the confrontation.
• The controversy stems from the VC's podcast statement criticizing new UGC rules and making remarks about victimhood and Dalits, which JNUSU labeled as casteist.
• VC Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit clarified her statement was distorted, citing her OBC background and defending actions against students for damaging property.
