New Delhi: Taking cognisance of the clashes between two groups prior evening, the JNU administration on Monday said that no violence will be tolerated on campus and warned the students from getting involved in any incident which disturbs peace and harmony on campus. The warning by JNU came a day after two groups of students clashed at the varsity’s Kaveri Hostel on Sunday allegedly over serving of non-vegetarian food on Ram Navami in the mess, with police saying six students were injured in the violence. The two groups, however, had claimed that over 60 students were injured from both sides.
“Taking serious note of the incident, the Vice Chancellor, rector and other officials visited the hostel and met the students. The VC conveyed that no violence will be tolerated on campus and appealed the students to maintain peace and harmony,” the Registrar said in an official appeal to the students.

The clash of students at the Jawaharlal Nehru University’s Kaveri Hostel was an “unfortunate” incident, Delhi Home Minister Satyendar Jain said on Monday. Asked about the incident by reporters, Jain said, “I am the home minister of Delhi. You should ask this question to the home minister under whom the Delhi Police is.” He, however, added that the incident was “unfortunate”.
“Focus should be on studies. What happened in JNU is wrong. Gender equality and oral hygiene issues should be talked about,” Maharashtra Minister Aaditya Thackeray said on JNU violence over allegedly eating non-veg in campus.
