Akhila Bharata Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has protested in Jammu University and has demanded to remove Jinnah’s chapter from Political Science syllabus.
The university however justifies itself by claiming Jinnah’s chapter is mentioned in many educational institutions and it subscribes to University Grant Commission’s guidelines.
ABVP led by Jammu and Kashmir Secretary Sannak Shrivats and other activists assembled on the university campus and raised slogans against the Jammu University administration. They demanded immediate removal of the chapter which is added in Modern Indian Political thought under the pretext of “minorities and the nation”.
West Bengal Elections, After BJP, CPI(M) announced their 32 candidates.
The protestors tore and burnt Jinnah’s pictures in the campus, threatening the authorities to intensify the protest if they don't remove it immediately.
ABVP secretary Shrivats said, the government should act instantly as Jammu university has intentionally added Jinnah in the syllabus 2026-2028. Jinnah is presented as the mentor of modern politics, but in reality he promoted two nation theory and divided the country.
The University claims along with the other contemporaries like Sardar Patel and Mahatma Gandhi, the university has mentioned Jinnah’s name too.
The ABVP in its official statement said they would call for the nation wide protest if not removed immediately,
