Entry of Hindu nationalist organization at Valentine’s Day celebration in Indore college, uproar ensues

A Valentine’s Day celebration at the Narsee Monjee Institute in Indore was disrupted by Hindu nationalist activists who protested against the event, leading to chaos and police intervention.

A Valentine’s Day event at the Narsee Monjee Institute in the Gandhi Nagar area of Indore turned chaotic when members of a Hindu nationalist organization arrived to protest the celebration. The attendees, which included both students and faculty, were caught off-guard as the activists began chanting slogans against the event. The situation quickly escalated as reports indicated that some protestors forcibly entered the college grounds and vandalized property, causing panic among the students present.

As the disturbance unfolded, local police from both the Gandhi Nagar police station and the Aerodrome police station were alerted and responded to the scene. Authorities claimed that they had not been informed about the event beforehand, which raised questions about security and coordination on campus. Police officers ensured that order was restored in the area while also beginning investigations into the protest and vandalism.

Currently, police are reviewing CCTV footage and viral videos to identify the individuals responsible for the vandalism. This incident has raised concerns about the climate of intolerance towards cultural celebrations in educational institutions, as similar protests by religious organizations have occurred in various locations across India.
