Reservation politics is finally taking its toll on students as was obvious at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus in the Capital on Friday night.
The sharp divide between the pro- and anti-reservation students came to the fore when pro and anti reservation students clashed on the campus.
One girl was severely injured in the clash.
On Friday evening, anti-reservation protestors at JNU were taking out a peaceful candlelight march. As per plan, their counterparts from IIT Delhi joined in the march.
However, the pro-reservation JNU students, who mostly belong to or sympathise with the Left, didn't apporove.
They tried to stop the IIT students from entering the campus and that is what started it all - a small skirmish that turned into complete chaos and mayhem.
