SFI sfrvngly condemns the physical assault on Sumeet Kishore a YFE activist by Rajon Pandey a Joint Secretory of AISA JNU Unit. This inCident took place near the admission assistance booth at Ad Block yesterday. Both Rojon and Sumeet were standing at the bus stop to assist new students in their admission process. The incident started with an .
argument over assisting a new student when Sumeet was pushed by Rojon while trying to toke her to the YFE's admission assistance booth. There was a heated exchange of words and some pushing around between them .
which was pacified by the other students present at the bus stop. The SAA councilor Ameet Pormesworan along with some other students tried to take Rojon away from Sumeet to ensure that nothing untoward happens. However a Her 5-10 minutes when it seemed that things hod been resolved Rajon took a stone and hit Sumeet on his head without any kind of provocation. .
Rajan has been suspended from the university by the Proctor's Office and a Proctorial enquiry has been ordered into the incident. We believe that such violent acts ore completely antithetical to the democratic culture of JNU. It is all the more shameful because the whole incident took place in front of new students and their parents. JNU is known for Its progressive values and the entire exercise of admission assistance is also done in the some spirit where new students ore helped in their admission process. The new students who come from different places all across the country get their first exposure to the political culture of JNU in the admission assistance ' process. However the degeneration which has led to a situation where new students are pounced upon with.
( people fighting with each other and has culminated in this unfortunate incident has lowered the prestige of JNU in.
' front of new students..

about the incident.

We would like to make it pre clear that acts like yesterday's incident hove never been a port of the left student movement in this campus and the strict action should be taken against it to ensure that they are not repeated in the future.

ABVP has the dubious distinction of indulging in De worst form of mob violence in our university which was unleashed during Ashok Singhal's visit.
