Forces of Anarchy Trying to Gain Political Footprint: BJP on JNU

Taking to Twitter, the BJP condemned the violence and alleged that students were being used as “cannon fodder.”

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday, 5 January, reacted to the attack on the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), calling it a desperate attempt by “forces of anarchy” to boost their “shrinking political footprint.”

Taking to Twitter, the ruling party condemned the violence at the campus and alleged that students were being used as “cannon fodder.”

We strongly condemn the violence on JNU campus. This is a desperate attempt by forces of anarchy, who are determined to use students as cannon fodder, create unrest to shore up their shrinking political footprint. Universities should remain places of learning and education.
