JNUSU blames V-C for attack says, V-C is frustrated, attack result of his desperation

"The violence that happened today is the result of the desperation and frustration of the VC and his cronies. But the chronology of events that unfolded today is a shameful episode for the Delhi Police who gave a safe passage to ABVP goons imported from outside. For days now the administration has been unable to break our protest. Since 4th January, ABVP people were directed as henchmen of the VC to come and beat up students. They used lathis and pipes on that day," JNUSU has said in its statement on Monday. JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh is among the injured and is undergoing treatment at AIIMS. She was seen bleeding from the forehead as armed goons stormed the JNU campus on Sunday evening.
