Details of the Campus Unrest

Mittal noted that preliminary police inquiries and checks confirmed no assault took place as claimed in viral social media posts. He pointed out a similar incident happened at Chitkara University just 24 hours prior to the LPU events.

Impact on National Security Symbols

The MP expressed concern that national security symbols were targeted during the protests, referencing videos of people climbing on a decommissioned MiG-23 fighter jet memorial. University authorities suspended physical classes for ten days and local administration cut internet access to restore order.
