Dozens of masked mob on Sunday entered the JNU campus and assaulted several students and professors with sticks and rods. Even though the police have taken the area under control but the sense of sorrow is still ranging in the campus. Amid the chaos, Swara Bhasker, the Bollywood Diva whose mother Ira Bhaskar is a professor at the JNU, took to Twitter to request to the people on social media to reach the campus and pressurize the government to control the situation.
An SOS call from Swara
The actress tweeted a video in which she broke down and talked about the violence. She was seen pleading to the people to assemble in large numbers outside the JNU gate to show their support against the attack.
Swara said in the video, “This is an urgent SOS sort of appeal, even as we speak right now there is a terror attack on JNU by goons who are allegedly ABVP and RSS backed goons.”
