On Twitter, the new JNU VC supported genocide, hits at students, farmers; now deletes her Twitter account, after journalists shared her tweets.<\/h1>\n

JNU may be on the brink of very challenging days with the appointment of the new vice-chancellor of the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University,<\/a> Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit who has often put her Hindutva right-wing political views out in the open on Twitter without rancor openly supporting the genocide of Muslims and attacked farmers and students. However, when the matter came to light with her new position, she hurridly deleted her Twitter account<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit seems to be pursuing a rigorous extremist path with the threat that she would also be inflicting her destructive views in the academic and administrative spheres as her controversial predecessor, M. Jagadesh Kumar.<\/p>\n

Her appointment was announced on\u00a0Monday, February 7. Kumar was made head of the University Grants Commission last week.<\/p>\n

The Union government\u2019s approval of Kumar\u2019s antagonistic right-wing rule in the university also mirrors its mind in their support of Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit.<\/a><\/p>\n

In a message to students and faculty, Pandit said her primary priority would be to provide an environment for \u201cacademic excellence\u201d (sic<\/em>). Praising the ideology of the Modi regime, she said the \u201cfocus would be in constructing Indo-centric narratives\u201d<\/p>\n

She released a letter, which was heavily criticized for its bad grammar and style of writing depicting the fall of such a prestigious institution.<\/p>\n

Letter from JNU\u2019s new vice chancellor, Santishree Pandit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pandit, known for her proximity with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), has backed calls for genocide and attacks on students and farmers in the recent past.<\/p>\n

For example, she named the Left-liberals \u201cJihadis\u201d in response to Times Now editor Rahul Shivshankar\u2019s comment condemning the suspension of Kangna Ranaut\u2019s Twitter account after she called for a genocide against Indian Muslims.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In yet another tweet, Pandit has also advocated the persecution of civil rights activists, whom she brands as \u201cmentally-ill jihadists\u201d in \u201cChinese\u201d style.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In another of her tweets, while calling Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s assassination \u201csad\u201d, she justifies Godse\u2019s action as arising from the thinking that only Gandhi\u2019s murder was a \u201csolution\u201d for a \u201cunited India.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On multiple occasions, she has put out her Hindutva right-wing political views out in the open unhesitatingly. In one instance, she also urged people to vote for the BJP while slamming the \u201cItalian-origin\u201d Sonia Gandhi.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On other occasions, she has attacked the Left activists of JNU calling them \u201cNaxal Jihadists\u201d and advocated the weeding out of Rohingya refugees, and called the government to stop the funding of prestigious educational institutions like the Jamia Millia Islamia and St. Stephens College. She has also urged \u201cnon-Muslims\u201d to wake up to prevent \u201cLove Jihad\u201d, which she qualifies as \u201cterror by other means\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More recently, she struck at the farmers\u2019 movement by calling the agitating farmers \u201cparasites, middlemen, Dalals\u201d, and used similar expletives for anti-CAA protestors at Shaheen Bagh.<\/p>\n

She has often retweeted troll handles on social media, an example of which is when she tagged a picture of\u00a0The Wire<\/em>\u2019s senior editor Arfa Khanum and renowned historian Audrey Truschke with the caption that says, \u201cvulture with a predator\u201d.<\/p>\n

While she now claims someone else had written that, the truth is this reflects her own mindset. It was certainly embarrassing to her when her tweets got exposed and she hurridly deleted her Twitter account.<\/p>\n

Is it safe to leave young minds developing for the nation, in the keep of such a radical, hate-infested commander of the most reputable universities not only in India but the world? JNU has raised some of the greatest most open-minded inclusive leaders of India who have touched the globe.\u00a0 To designate someone a vice-chancellor with such a regressive mindset would clip JNU’s wings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
