West Bengal chief minister Suvendu Adhikari said on Saturday that one has to sing Vande Mataram to stay in the state, amid tension following repeated clashes between Left-leaning students and RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) activists at Jadavpur University .
“But we will establish nationalism both inside and outside Jadavpur. I have seen many people crying about JU on social media. “A section of the tukde-tukde gang, jihadis and anti-Nationals in JU don’t celebrate Independence Day and Republic Day inside the premises.

Addressing a gathering of beneficiaries of the Annapurna scheme in his Bhabanipur constituency, Adhikari launched a scathing attack on what he described as “anti-national” elements on the Jadavpur University campus and said anyone living in the state would have to sing the national song. Let me be clear, if you want to live in this state, you will have to sing Vande Mataram,” Adhikari said. We will establish nationalism inside and outside Jadavpur University,” he said.
