Clash at Jamia Campus During Diwali Party

A clash broke out on the Jamia Millia Islamia campus in Delhi on Tuesday night during Diwali celebrations. According to news agency PTI, the event caused commotion and led to the deployment of police outside the school. The video that was taken of the chaos is making the rounds on social media.

In a video, a group can be seen chanting slogans during the rangoli event on the Jamia campus. Some students claimed that a group also chanted ‘Palestine Zindabad’ and disrupted the Diwali festivities, reported Hindustan Times. However, these claims could not be verified.

While the altercation created chaos on the university campus, authorities have confirmed that the situation was de-escalated and both groups left peacefully.

The incident occurred during the annual Diwali celebrations organised by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student body of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The conflict happened after people from a certain group allegedly disrupted the festivities and ruined the rangolis prepared by students. The group also kicked diyas with their feet, which led to the clash between the two groups, The Indian Express reported.

“The incident occurred around 7:30-8 pm near gate 7. A group of students affiliated with the ABVP were putting up diyas and making rangolis for Diwali, which displeased another group of students. The other group wrecked the decorations, which led to a scuffle. Both sides engaged in sloganeering,” Deputy Commissioner of Police Southeast Ravi Kumar told The Indian Express.

“Police were deployed to maintain the peace; they are stationed there for the night as a precautionary measure. Students were ordered to disperse and the crowd left by 9 pm.”

The videos of the ruckus are being shared on social media showing people chanting slogans during the event. The reason for the scuffle remains unclear as no official statements have emerged.
