ABVP holds protest against DU professor for 'offensive comments' against Lord Krishna

The RSS-affiliated ABVP on Monday held a protest at Delhi University's Dyal Singh College here over "some offensive comments" allegedly made by a Hindi professor and some students against Lord Krishna.

However, professor Rajeev Kunwar, said he had never made any offensive comments.

"I never made any comments against Lord Krishna. But I have been getting threats on social media and over phone. They have threatened that they will blacken my face and I should apologise," he said.

According to Kunwar, it all started after he gave a talk on September 23 on 'Patriarchy and Women Resistance in India: A historical enquiry' organised by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithiya Study Circle in the college.

Later, a video of the same was shared on social media by a student following which another student posted in the comments thread, "This is the same professor who teaches students Lord Krishna is a fictitious character. This professor should be boycotted."
Sonakshi Dogra, ABVP Unit President of Dyal Singh College (Morning), said, "During a religiously significant span, when the entire nation is celebrating Navratri, such insidious conduct of the accused professor points to a surreptitious plan to disturb peace and perpetuate communal disharmony on the college campus. The college administration must step in and take necessary action against the accused Professor."
