JNU VC Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit on Wednesday said that the violence on the campus erupted on whether 'Ram Navami Havan' should be conducted and regarding the food menu. "These are the versions of the two groups," she said. Pandit also said that JNU is a free university. "We respect individuals' choices, it's a melting pot of all identities. Young people have opinions and we appreciate diversity & dissent but let's not end up having violence," she stated. She further said that she wants to correct the public perception that we are tukde-tukde. "After I've taken over I've not seen anybody talking like that. We are as nationalistic as anybody else," the JNU VC said.
