Days after clashes broke out at Jadavpur University that left a student, Indranuj Roy, injured, Trinamool Congress (TMC) supporters dug up his Facebook posts professing Maoist ideology and glorifying Maoist guerillas killed by security forces to highlight how the SFI-the student wing of the CPI(M)–was collaborating with the Maoists. Nandy highlighted JU’s leftist students’ confrontations with former BJP Union minister Babul Supriyo in 2019, former Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar and the BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari, the leader of the opposition in the state Assembly, to argue that by prohibiting all opponent politicians’ entry to the campus, the JU students had created a Maoist ‘liberated zone’ like Abujmarh.
