The night after every higher educational institutions were supposed to be opened for academic activities after CAA protests forcing the government to close them, violent attacks by masked goons in the JNU campus has once again vitiated the environment in the educational institutions with Left, Right and Centre blaming each other for this incidence. But one thing is for sure that violence in universities across country are instigated by politicians.

There is a big question mark over the administration for failing to deal with this stalemate while both parties, ruling and opposition, are accusing each other of instigating students. Violent protests have gripped almost the entire country and the administration dealt with them sternly and gradually protests petered out. But now a fresh protest.

Irrespective of political blame-game it is all ruining the image of a rising ‘New India’ for which the NaMo government has put in lots of efforts to become a reality that started with his historic speech at Madison Square in the US. However, the opposition parties have nothing to lose, NaMo led BJP needs to give a rethink how to handle this impasse and save the image of the country.
