A students' group called the 'students against Naxalism' organised a protest on SUnday at the Jawaharlal Nehru University against other student bodies that it termed as being 'pro-naxal'.

The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), National students' Union of India (NSUI), Youth for Equality are a part of the group.

Earlier on Friday night, NSUI, ABVP and YFE disrupted a meeting organised by another newly formed group 'JNU Forum Against War on People' (JNU-FAWP). The three student bodies claimed that the forum held a pro-Maoist meeting and was celebrating last week's massacre of CRPF personnel at Dantewada. The groups then clashed leading to four students getting injured.
