Supriyo had, on Friday, tweeted a photo of the student heckling him and pulling his hair. “This is the guy who led the assault in #JadavpurUniversity .. we will find him out and then see what @MamataOfficial does to him in terms of charging him for assault without ANY PROVOCATION whatsoever from our/my side,” he wrote.
Supriyo had gone to the campus to address a seminar organised by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP)— the student wing of the RSS. The minister was initially stopped from entering the campus for around one-and-half hours from 2.30 pm by members of Left-leaning organisations—Arts Faculty Students' Union (AFSU) and Students Federation of India (SFI)— who raised the slogan 'Babul Supriyo Go Back', varsity sources said.
