The real “tukde tukde gang” is @BJP4India and ABVP and the leader of the “Tukde tukde Gang” is @AmitShah and @narendramodi . And let’s write that in stone . They are the ones breaking and dividing the country .

When is this madness going to end… what’s the price one can put on an innocent life. Frightening to see images of students and faculty members being attacked and hurt. This level of violence is unacceptable… #JNU

India,where cows seem to receive more protection than students, is also a country that now refuses to be cowed down. You can’t oppress people with violence-there will be more protests,more strikes,more people on the street. This headline says it all. pic.twitter.com/yIiTYUjxKR

More than 18 students, including JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh, were critically injured and taken to the AIIMS Trauma Centre after a masked mob attacked them with sticks and iron rods. JNU teachers are fall prey to the inhumane act. The JNU administration condemned the attack and urged the police to take action against the perpetrators.
