New Delhi, Feb 22 : We escaped and hid ourselves fearing mob lynching and not Delhi Police, the five JNU students, who returned to the campus late on Sunday, said.

The students said they would surrender themselves if police came to arrest them from the campus.

“We were laying low and did not come to public life because we feared mob lynching and not police,” Rama Naga, general secretary of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU), said.

The five students, Umar Khalid, Anant Prakash Narayan, Ashutosh Kumar, Rama Naga and Anirban Bhattacharya, had disappeared from the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus after the February 9 event that was held to mark the anniversaries of executions of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front co-founder Maqbool Bhat.

Anti-India slogans were allegedly raised at the gathering.

Earlier, Khalid, addressing students in front of the admin bloc of the JNU, said he was “not a terrorist”, adding the BJP government “needed an excuse to target the campus”.

“My name is Umar Khalid and I’m not a terrorist,” Khalid said, condemning the media trial that branded him a terrorist.

“The attack (on the university) is not because of the program which was organised on Feburary 9, but because the government needs an excuse to attack us.”

“The media, all this while, presented a lot of things about me. The media trial, this propaganda… I know what my family is going through,” he added.

He also refuted the media reports that he made 800 calls to ‘Gulf or Kashmir’ a few days before the program was organised.

JNU has been on the boil over the arrest of its students’ union president Kanhaiya Kumar on sedition charges following the February 9 event.—IANS

  1. Muslims should become self sustainable Bcos India and indians has been understood as communal by present NDM government and it is their virtue about india and they will proceed in that direction.

  2. Immature BJP Govt. & its leadership responding & playing in hands of street Hooligans of ABVP/RSS/VHP/ BD and Hindu radical outfits. BJP,RSS, ABVP spreading morphed & fake videos of JNU on SM & MSM .. Concocted Audios of slogans by mob are superimposed on videos shown as JNU students….Unfortunately by design these morphed clips are shown by National TV channels defaming JNU & student community. JNU campus inherent “students politics” is hijacked by BJP/RSS/ ABVP for hindutva politics and Hindu vote bank..This Modi led BJP govt. lack governance & development zeal , instead relied heavily on divisive , communal , emotional issues like Love Jihad,Conversions, Beef ban and now rake up Pseudo nationalism & patriotism to appease its Hindu votes bank …Anti Muslim BJP now become Anti India , Anti people BJP… RSS/ BJP is sure nose dive soon.. BJP/RSS is getting exposed to its core

  3. ,MALDA RIOT are also fake video,

    NOKHALI RIOT-The massacre of the Hindu population started on 10 October, on the day of Kojagari Lakshmi Puja, and continued unabated for about a week. It is estimated that minimum over 5,000 Hindus were killed,[1][2] hundreds of Hindu women were raped and thousands of Hindu men and women were forcibly converted to Islam.[3] Around 50,000 to 75,000 survivors were sheltered in temporary relief camps in Comilla, Chandpur, Agartala and other places.[4] Apart from that, around 50,000 Hindus that remained marooned in the affected areas were under the strict surveillance of the Muslims, where the administration had to say.[4] In some areas, the Hindus had to obtain permits from the Muslim leaders in order to travel outside their villages. The forcibly converted Hindus were coerced to give written declaration that they have converted to Islam on their own free will. Sometimes they were confined in houses not their own and only allowed to be in their own house, when an official party came for inspection. The Hindus were forced to pay subscription to the Muslim League and pay jiziyah, the protection tax paid by zimmis in an Islamic state.
