Girl students of Jadavpur University are shameless, says WB BJP President

"Girl students of Jadavpur University are shameless," the BJP leader said while addressing a press conference in Kolkata.

"The molestation complaints they have filed are baseless," he said.

"These girls lean on boys and then complain of molestation," he said.

Violence erupted in JU recently  over the screening of a film as the students of the ultra-left union clashed with ABVP and held four of those belonging to saffron brigade hostage accusing them of molestation.

BJP workers, led by party's Roopa Ganguly, gathered at the campus gate and demanded that the  four party workers be handed over to them.

The ruckus happened just hours after a screening of director Vivek Agnihotri's "Buddha In A Traffic Jam" at the university was abandoned midway after being interrupted several times. The screening was organised by a group allegedly backed by the ABVP.

The leftist students said the screening of the film was held despite the university  refusing permission for the same.

Following the screening, a few women students complained of molestation by some "outsiders," after which a group of students apprehended four men, and handed them over to the Vice Chancellor.

The four were later handed over to the police by University authorities. An FIR has been filed against the four alleged molesters byuniversity officials.

Buddha in a Traffic Jam is an autobiographical film based on its writer and director Vivek Agnihotri's life. The film has a cast of Arunoday Singh, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Mahi Gill and Anchal Dwivedi.

The student protesters said they opposed the film's portrayal of nationalism. There have been similar protests against the film at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University, amid a raging debate over nationalism.
