West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari criticised the raising of “Azadi” slogans at Jadavpur University, saying it was painful to hear such slogans in Kolkata. He questioned slogans including “Kashmir Mange Azadi” and references to Maoist leader Kishanji reportedly written on the university’s walls. Adhikari also expressed concern over what he described as a culture of political intimidation on the campus and called for stronger action to restore discipline and nationalism. His remarks have intensified the political debate surrounding student activism, dissent and freedom of expression at Jadavpur University. The controversy comes amid a broader dispute over alleged anti-national graffiti on campus. (PC: ANI)
