JNU food fight gets messier

January 28, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:33 am IST - NEW DELHI:

Students from Kashmir in JNU on Tuesday distributed kahwah in a protest after ABVP didn’t allow students from Kashmir to put up a food counter at the annual International Food Festival (IFF).

“The organisers received open warnings from the ABVP, threatening them with disruption of the festival in case Kashmiris were allowed to open a food counter. International students, who organise it, were threatened with legal action and deportation. Just two days before the festival, the booking for the Kashmir counter were cancelled by the organisation,” a member of the organising committee of the Kashmir Food Counter said.
