AGARTALA, Nov 15 (TIWN): From “lynching” to “statue vandalizing”, India is developing primitive culture under the Modi era.

In Tripura Lenin to Poet Sukanta Bhattacharjee’s statue vandalizing, in Bengal Vidyasagar’s statue demolition, direct involvement of the BJP have been observed and in JNU, BJP’s dirty game like against Kanhaiya Kumar with fabricated videos were experienced too.

As no action could be taken in Vivekananda’s statue vandalizing, thus Tripura NSUI has staged a massive protest infront of Agartala City Center demanding immediate action.

On the other side, objectionable messages were found written on the pedestal of a yet to be unveiled statue of Swami Vivekanada on the JNU campus on Thursday. There was no immediate reaction from the varsity's administration over the incident.
The statue, which is covered in a saffron-coloured cloth, is located at the varsity's administrative block.

Representatives of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) denied their involvement in the incident and said they will issue a statement soon.
On Wednesday, students had painted various messages for vice-chancellor Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar inside the administration block of the university as they barged inside the building to talk to him about the hostel fee hike.
By evening, the fee hike saw a partial rollback and JNU said the clauses in the Draft Hostel Manual pertaining to the dress code and curfew timings were also removed.
Hundreds of students, led by the JNUSU, had barged inside the administration block to talk to the VC and on not finding him and other officials in the building, painted messages on the walls near his office.
