March 16, 2016 21:28

A group of 10 JNU teachers has released a 400-page document prepared last year detailing past controversial events on the campus, suggesting that the flashpoint Afzal Guru event and its fallout could have been

avoided had the varsity administration acted on it.

The teachers, who are opposing the teachers' association for their support to students accused of sedition in connection with the Afzal Guru event last month, claimed today that the report was shared with the Varsity administration.

"It is a matter of serious concern that some JNU academics masquerading as liberals and feminists have engaged in nefarious and anti-national activities of maligning India publicly through their statements, lectures and

extra-academic activties of their NGOs which receive liberal funding from hostile agencies," the report alleged.
