Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Vice-Chancellor (V-C) Santishree Pandit on Sunday said while she is proud to be a Hindu and her association with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), there is a need to counter left narrative.
Pandit was speaking at a book launch function where she shared the dais with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
The V-C, who wrote a preface to the book titled “Jagala Pokharnari davi Walwi” (Leftist termite burrowing the world) written by Abhijit Jog, said that there was a need to respect Indian culture and tradition.
“I am proud to be a Hindu and belong to the Sangh. We need narrative power to counter the leftist propaganda. A counter-narrative needs to be nurtured to fight the left.”
Recalling the challenges faced during her stint at the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU), she said, “Going by the troubles I faced here, I would state that there are more leftists in Pune University than JNU where they are openly seen and not that much visible in Pune University.”
