Delhi seemed closer than ever as the fallout of the protests against the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) violence reached Matunga on Monday afternoon. A group of students from different colleges under Mumbai University congregated at the traffic island opposite Ramnarain Ruia college yesterday to "set the record straight about JNU."

These students were condemning Left-wing orchestrated violence and the Communist goons "who are blaming the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) for the violence." "It is important that we say it like it is. It is the Left Wing that fomented the JNU violence," they stressed as the island filled up with youngsters, who started a steady chant. They began with, "Comrade pe halla bol, halla bol.." and went on to "Students Federation of India (SFI) pe halla bol." After that, the group, watched warily by the cops, started "Laal aatanki khabaradar (watch out red terrorists)" and followed that up with, "Comrade hoshiyar...(warning the Comrades too)."
