A student of the Osmania University was stabbed for supporting a beef festival organised by several student groups opposing “food fascism” in hostels, police said yesterday. The beef festival saw clashes in which five students were injured. It also led to vehicles being burnt. The situation in the university was tense as violence continued in the campus past midnight with a group of students attacking the ‘C’ hostel and stabbing a student for backing the festival. Police said the injured student was admitted to Gandhi Hospital.

Nothing new: MiD DAY had published the above story in its March 24 issue. Here, a group alleged that the JNU administration had prepared a straitjacketed menu that promotes Brahmanic tastes. The group is now planning to hold a beef and pork festival on campus
