Kanhaiya Kumar Kolkata

Nearly two weeks after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee organised a massive opposition unity rally in Kolkata, the Left Front organised a "people's brigade" meeting today at the same venue in the city, marking the launch of the Left's campaign for the Lok Sabha elections due by May.

For the first time since he was charged with sedition in February, Jawaharlal Nehru University student leader Kanhaiya Kumar came to Kolkata on Thursday to a rousing reception by the CPI's student front, AISA.

The young women who have complained about being molested at Kolkata's Jadavpur University are "women of low standards" who "fall over men and then complain of being harassed" in the assessment of senior BJP leader Dilip Ghosh.

Tension peaked at Kolkata's Jadavpur University as slogan-shouting members of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad or ABVP, held a march outside its gates today. There was huge police presence in the area to stop clashes.

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student Umar Khalid, facing sedition charge for allegedly raising anti-India slogans at the university campus in New Delhi in February, was today granted permission by a Delhi court to travel to Kolkata to attend a panel discussion.

After a newspaper report said colleges in Kolkata have been asked to collate profiles of all students from Jammu and Kashmir, sources in the union Home Ministry clarified to NDTV that in fact, what the centre asked for was quite different.

A week after threatening to behead those who raised pro-Pakistan slogans, Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh has warned Jadavpur university students that if they dare to step out of campus, he would have them thrashed.

After students in Kolkata raised slogans in support of terrorist Afzal Guru, the Home Ministry has asked the Bengal government for a report.

A rally at Kolkata's Jadavpur University on Tuesday evening - meant to express solidarity with arrested JNU student Kanhaiya Kumar on sedition charge and the students of the university - turned controversial, with a section of students raising pro-Afzal Guru and Kashmiri Azadi slogans.
