Digital Desk: Several buildings on the campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) were vandalized on Thursday with anti-Brahmin slogans, photos of which were shared on social media. Students claimed that the walls of the School of International Studies II building had been vandalized with anti-Brahmin and Baniya slogans.

Notably, there were no immediate reactions from the JNU administration over the incident. Some of the slogans written on the wall are "Brahmins Leave The Campus", "There Will Be Blood", "Brahmin Bharat Chhodo" and "Brahmino-Baniyas, we are coming for you! We will avenge."

The RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad accused the left of the vandalism.

"ABVP strongly opposes communist goons' rampant vandalism of education institutions. On the walls of JNU's School of International Studies-II building, communists have written hatred. They have vandalized the chambers of free-thinking teachers in order to scare them,"  said ABVP JNU President Rohit Kumar.

"We think that academic spaces should be used for discussions and debates rather than for contaminating the community of students and society at large," kumar added. A JNU teachers' body too posted a tweet condemning the vandalism and blaming the "left-liberal gang" for it.

"While the Left-Liberal gang intimidates every dissenting voice, they appeal to elect EC representatives that 'can assert the values of mutual respect and civility, & equal & just treatment of all.' 'civility' & 'mutual respect.' Highly deplorable act of vandalism!" wrote the JNU Teachers' Forum on Twitter.
