Indian-origin student at Princeton arrested for participating in a pro-Palestine protest, barred from the university
Achinthya Sivalingan, an Indian-origin student, was one of two students arrested Thursday at Princeton University in the United States for engaging in a pro-Palestine protest on campus.
Sivalingan and Hassan Sayed, both from Coimbatore, were arrested early Thursday morning as student protesters set up tents in the university courtyard, according to the Princeton Alumni Weekly.
“According to a paper provided by demonstrators, the arrested students are Achinthya Sivalingam and Hassan Sayed. Urvi, a first-year Ph.D. student who only wanted to be named by her first name, described the arrest as “violent” and claimed zip ties were placed around their wrists, according to the college alumni magazine.
ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING
In a statement, Jennifer Morrill, a spokesperson for the University, noted that erecting tents violated University regulations, resulting to the arrest of the two students for trespassing “[a]fter repeated warnings from the Department of Public Safety to cease the activity and leave the area.”
Additionally, Morrill stated that Sivalingan and Sayed “have been immediately barred from campus, pending a disciplinary process.” She added that the remaining tents were “voluntarily taken down by protestors.”
Sivalingam is pursuing a Master of Public Affairs (MPA) in International Development at Princeton, while Sayed is a fifth-year PhD candidate in the famed university’s economics department.
SIVALINGAM AND SAYS ‘NOT EVICTED’
According to The Daily Princetonian, student organizers have circulated an Instagram document urging alumni and other university members to call and email the University to stop disciplinary actions, claiming that Sivalingam and Sayed were removed from their campus housing and given only five minutes to collect their belongings.
However, in a statement, university spokesperson Michael Hotchkiss emphasized that no one has been ‘evicted’.
“No one has been ‘evicted’ from the university today. Under University protocol, Public Safety may initially accompany students barred from campus (for any reason) to their University housing to collect whatever belongings they require in the short term until the specific terms of their bar from campus are determined by the designated administrator,” Hotchkiss stated.

Yogi Adityanath Slams Congress with ‘Ram Droh’ Allegations Amid Radhika Khera’s Resignation
Yogi Adityanath Slams Congress with ‘Ram Droh’ Allegations Amid Radhika Khera’s Resignation
“Ram Droh in their DNA” is what Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, said the Congress, Samajwadi Party, and India bloc coalition harbored on Monday. In response to Congresswoman Radhika Khera’s departure from her party, Yogi Adityanath made a statement. He said that because she went to the temple of Lord Ram in Ayodhya, the Congress had humiliated her. “The Congress leaders humiliated her when she traveled to Ayodhya to get Ram Lala’s blessings. When she could take no more of the insults, she resigned. This demonstrates the genetic ‘Ram droh’ that both Congress and the SP possess. “People connected to the INDI Alliance possess ‘Ram Droh’ in their genetic makeup,” he stated to ANI.
Yogi Adityanath declared that the nation’s voters will never support “Ram Drohi” candidates. “The nation’s populace is fully aware of Congress’s fictitious structure. The public is aware that the things Congress is currently flaunting are not grounded in reality. They just intend to mislead the populace, but their play is exposed. As a result, the general population is driving it in that direction,” Yogi Aditanath continued. Radhika Khera said on Sunday that the Congress party was opposed to Sanatan Dharma and Lord Ram.

She claimed that the Congress began to despise her when she went to the Ram Temple with her grandpa and erected a Jai Shri Ram banner in front of her home. Radhika Khera stated that she received criticism from the party for traveling to Ayodhya during the election season. She claimed that party leaders had mistreated her and quit the organization. She further said that she was not met by Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi Vadra over the matter. She stated that for more than three years, she had been attempting to contact both Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi. The top campaigner for the BJP is Yogi Adityanath. He declared during rallies last month that the Congress intended to bring Sharia rule to the nation and let minorities butcher cows.

Pakistan Not Wearing Bangles: Farooq Abdullah’s Response to Rajnath’s PoK Remark Draws Criticism
Farooq Abdullah, the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, fell out of favor when he continued to deny wearing bangles and threatened to launch atomic bombs on India in response to Defense Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement that the province of PoK would become part of India. “Go ahead and do it if the minister of defense says so. Who are we to put an end to? But keep in mind that Pakistan is not wearing bangles either. The head of the National Conference, Abdullah, stated, “Unfortunately, it has atom bombs, and that atom bomb will fall on us.”
Omar Abdullah, the son of Abdullah, stated that no one is preventing the BJP from uniting the PoK with India and that they must first address all of the issues facing the J&K area. “Who has managed to stop them? With us, to stop you? However, they must first address every issue the area has with them,” he remarked.
The BJP reacts to Farooq’s recall.
BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi responded to Farooq’s statement by saying that the INDI alliance bears a Pakistani imprint. “I’m drawing your attention to a startling political declaration in India today. Per Farooq Abdullah, Pakistan possesses an atomic weapon. This is the case in several cases. Maharashtra’s Congress LOP released a statement instead of offering Pakistan cover fire. You are questioning the Indian military just to garner a few votes, he remarked.

The INDI alliance has a Pakistani stamp. They are both telling everyone, “Mile sur mera tumhara.” The past seven days saw this occur. This is too much of a coincidence. This is Pakistan’s and the Indian Alliance’s strategic plan of action. They’re engaged in really risky behavior, he declared. Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) National General Secretary Malook Nagar expressed regret that citizens of the nation would make such remarks. Farooq Abdullah and his son, Omar Abdullah, sounded like Pakistanis during their interviews while Article 370 was still in effect. They ought to feel guilty. Such individuals are not entitled to reside in this nation.

Radhika Khera’s Shocking Allegations Against Congress Leaders: Locked, Abused, Manhandled After Leaving Party
Radhika Khera’s Shocking Allegations Against Congress Leaders: Locked, Abused, Manhandled After Leaving Party
Radhika Khera said on Monday, one day after leaving the Congress, that several of her former party officials had physically and verbally harassed her in the state Congress headquarters in Chhattisgarh and had confined her in a room. On Sunday, Khera announced her resignation from the party, citing that she had been denied justice in the event due to criticism of her visit to the Lord Ram temple in Ayodhya. At a news conference today, she said that Congress has been under assault against her ever since she placed Lord Ram’s banner at my house. Is it improper to discuss your religion? I was occasionally getting insulted. “They knocked on my doors late at night in a drunken state when media chairman Sushil Gupta offered me alcohol during Rahul Gandhi’s Nyay Yatra in Chhattisgarh,” the woman recalled.
“I went to speak with Sushil Anand Shukla at the state congress office on the 30th evening, and he yelled at me and mistreated me.” They imprisoned me inside while he and the other two state spokespeople mistreated me. When I yelled, the door remained closed. I was treated roughly. I even protested to Congressman Mahamantri, but nobody would listen,” she continued. For the current Lok Saha elections, Khera was dispatched by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) from Delhi to serve as the state’s coordinator of communication and media for Chhattisgarh.

Significantly, party sources stated that on April 30 at the Raipur party headquarters, Khera and Sushil Anand Shukla, the chairwoman of the Chhattisgarh Congress’ communication wing, got into a heated debate about senior politician Pawan Khera’s scheduled visit the next day. Khera was seen complaining about being humiliated in a video that went viral, allegedly of her. As Khera noted in her letter of resignation, there has always been hostility toward religious backing, a well-established reality from ancient times. “From Ravana and Kansa to Hiranyakashyap, examples of this can be found.” Some people are currently against individuals who use Lord Shri Ram’s name in the same manner, she continued.
