New Delhi, Jan 11 (ANI): Former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) vice chancellor, Sudhir Kumar Sopory on Saturday said that the situation of violence that occurred in JNU is because of ‘mistrust’ and ‘lack of communication’ with the administration. He said, “I have had an experience of working at JNU for over 25 years. The recent incidents of violence at the campus are very disheartening. Such situations occur because of mistrust and it's the lack of communication that decreases trust level.” “I think the administration should take the initiative to talk to students. When I was there, my doors were always open. I always had a diary of the demands of the students. For demands which could be fulfilled, measures were taken accordingly,” he further added. Several students of the JNU, including JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh, were injured and were taken to the AIIMS Trauma Centre after a masked mob attacked them inside campus.
