West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks about Jadavpur University, where he claimed that anti-national slogans were being written on campus walls. In a social media post, Banerjee defended the university's merit and academic excellence, stating that student protests symbolize democracy in motion. She criticized Modi for what she perceived as an insult to the institution's reputation, highlighting its consistent high rankings in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) under his government. Banerjee further elaborated on her definition of 'anarchy,' stating that it includes the misuse of power, neglect of farmers' issues, and political manipulation, contrasting these with the rightful expression of student voices. She urged Modi to respect the legacy of Jadavpur University, which is inspired by nationalists like Sri Aurobindo, and to refrain from defaming Bengal.
