Graffiti in black proclaiming 'Azad Kashmir' and 'Free Palestine' was seen on a wall near gate number three of Jadavpur University in West Bangal, India. A fresh controversy erupted at the university after ‘Azad Kashmir’ and ‘Free Palestine’ graffiti were spotted, with the Trinamool Congress’ student wing blaming ‘ultra-left outfits’ and CPI(M)’s unit denying any involvement. This comes amid ongoing protests after two students were injured on March 1 when cars in West Bengal education minister Bratya Basu’s convoy grazed past them.

Graffiti in black proclaiming 'Azad Kashmir' and 'Free Palestine' was seen on a wall near gate number three of the university, but it was not known who or which organisation was behind it. “Some ultra-Left student outfits are behind this and more such graffiti can be spotted if one goes around the sprawling campus,” JU's Trinamool Chhatra Parishad unit president Kishalay Roy told the media. The Students Federation of India, linked to CPI-M, denied involvement in putting out the graffiti.

The classes and exams were held in the institute as per the schedule on Monday. Protests have been held for the past few days at Jadavpur University, where two students were injured after the car of state Education Minister Bratya Basu and another accompanying vehicle allegedly grazed past them during a left protest on the campus on March 1.
