NEW DELHI -- The
Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union on Thursday filed a complaint
against two websites for allegedly spreading malicious reports that the
students were glorifying the Sukma naxal attack.
"The
websites www.srishtanews.com and www.dainikbharat.com are spreading reports
claiming that JNU students are glorifying the Sukma naxal attack," JNUSU
president Mohit Kumar Pandey said.
The
pictures linked with the reports are of celebrations in September 2015 and the
2013 JNUSU elections, and another picture was taken when former JNUSU president
Kanhaiya Kumar got bail in 2016, he added.
He
alleged that the websites had ideologies similar to that of the BJP and the RSS
and the reports were spread widely.
"Spread
of such content is maligning JNU students who are actively participating in
several social service activities. Students and faculties are getting threats
of murder, rape and are being abused because of this," Mohit said.
"We
request you to register an FIR against people who are behind such websites and
make sure that such incidents are not repeated," he said in the complaint.
The police officials
confirmed that the complaint is being currently examined.
