On Monday, she mentioned that she was attacked with multiple rods during the attack and called it an organised attack. She added,
It was an organised attack. They were singling out people and attacking. There is a clear nexus of JNU security and vandals. They did not intervene to stop violence. For last 4-5 days, some RSS-affiliated professors were promoting violence to break our movement. Are we wrong to ask for safety from the JNU and Delhi Police.
Ghosh also demanded resignation from the Vice-Chancellor and accused him of incompetency and added that the democratic culture of the university will not be suppressed by such incidents.
