NEW DELHI: The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), JNU, has come down heavily on those who were involved in stone pelting that took place during the screening of The Sabarmati Report at Sabarmati Dhaba, JNU. ABVP slammed the act of the miscreants and stated that it is not just an attack on a group of individuals but an assault on freedom of expression, dialogue, and democratic values that this university is known for.
In the statement issued by ABVP they stated that The screening of The Sabarmati Report was a step towards unveiling the truth and igniting a discussion on topics deliberately silenced by the so-called intellectual elite of our country. However, this incident demonstrates the intolerance and insecurity of certain anti-Bharat, anti-Hindu forces within our campus who fear the resurgence of dharma, righteousness, and truth.
Such elements thrive on deceit, propaganda, and a twisted narrative that seeks to dismantle the cultural and spiritual fabric of our nation. They cannot tolerate any voice that challenges their agenda or exposes their lies. These are the same forces that openly support divisive ideologies, glorify anti-national slogans, and oppose any initiative aimed at strengthening Bharat’s cultural identity.
ABVP JNU has said that they would assure everyone that we will continue to organise events that inspire thought, debate, and action for a united and prosperous Bharat. Together, we will defeat these anti-national, anti-dharmic, and breaking-India forces.
Meanwhile, the event drew an impressive crowd of hundreds, sparking enthusiasm and thought-provoking conversations among students.
The film, which delves into critical themes such as justice, accountability, and socio-political challenges, deeply engaged the audience. Its narrative encouraged students to confront contemporary societal issues, fostering a spirit of inquiry and reflection.
Addressing the gathering, ABVP JNU President Rajeshwar Kant Dubey highlighted the transformative power of cinema in shaping ideas and inspiring change. “Cinema has the potential to challenge perspectives and ignite meaningful conversations. We are thrilled to see such enthusiastic participation from our vibrant student community,” he said.
ABVP JNU Secretary Shikha Swaraj added, “This film sheds light on critical issues that demand our attention as a society. It’s heartening to witness the students’ interest and their willingness to engage in constructive dialogue through such creative mediums.”
The screening concluded with an energetic interactive session, where students shared their interpretations and discussed the broader implications of the film’s message. The event stood as a testament to JNU’s enduring culture of intellectual dynamism and active student engagement.
