Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) president N Sai Balaji met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday and had discussion on several issues related to the university. Kejriwal congratulated the newly-elected JNUSU president and other varsity students for defeating the right wing ABVP in the recent elections.

The newly elected JNUSU president said he apprised the Chief Minister of the  violence in JNU campus and the conduct of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). Kejriwal is learnt to have accused the Modi Government of “dictatorship” when he said the current regime at the Centre is drawing inspiration from the infamous leader of Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler.

 “ABVP's rising terror and violence on students in the JNU campus and inaction of JNU V-C against these ABVP students involved in campus violence shows  how they are being shielded away”, said Balaji.

 According to the statement issued by JNUSU, the Chief Minister has asked students to be united.  “He said the present regime is taking inspiration from Hitler and trying to muzzle and annihilate democracy. He felt inspired when I told him how we are resisting this regime, violence...through massive unity, night vigils, protests, peace marches and non-cooperation,” said Balaji, adding that the Delhi Chief Minister asked the JNU students to keep their “fight on and be united”. 

“Met him and discussed in detail how we are being attacked and so on. How threats were given in police station, how lynch mobs were baiting for blood and how an environment of fear is being perpetuated,” alleged  Balaji.

In the recent JNUSU poll, a united front of Left student groups won all four central panel seats defeating the ABVP by huge margins.
