Even after the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) administration ordered the security to remove the controversial poster demanding 'freedom for Kashmir and Palestine', the poster has still not been removed from the university campus.
The poster with "Freedom for Kashmir! Free Palestine! Right to Self Determination Long Live! DSU" written on it was pasted on the wall by the Left-leaning Democratic Students Union (DSU).
Meanwhile, the Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Prashid (ABVP) has issued a statement saying that even after the February 9 incident, the administration has not woken up and posters are still pasted on the SSS-3 building.
ABVP has also written to the Lieutenant Governor expressing disappointment and regret towards the conduct of Delhi Police.
"It has been more than a year since the case was registered against students of JNU under sedition charges. However, police have not been in a position to file a charge sheet against the accused till date. The charges were serious and the entire country condemned the anti-national sloganeering that took place in JNU campus on 9- February, 2016," it said in a letter.
It also alleged that the accused got bail from the court on certain conditions, but they are openly spreading "intellectual vehemence" in academic spaces contrary to the conditions imposed in the bail order.
The letter signed by state president Avneesh Mittal and State Secretary Bharat Khatana also said that the act of anti-national sloganeering is "spreading like an infection in the name of freedom of speech and will act detrimental in the future for the integrity and sovereignty of the country".
The organization has also requested the governor to intervene in the matter and call upon Delhi Police to act swiftly in filing charge sheet in the JNU in the case.
DSU's former members Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya and others had organized the controversial event last year against the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru at the JNU during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised.
Khalid, Bhattacharya and former student union president Kanhaiya Kumar are out on bail in a sedition case over the event.
"We don't know who put up the poster as this has been the pattern in JNU. However, the administration has asked the staff to bring it down," a senior university official said.
The administration was unable to function for over 17 days due to the blockade of the administrative building by students in protest against changes in the admission policy and it was only early this week that the staff got access to the building and resumed work.
