Vandals have defaced the door of the chapel inside Delhi University’s St Stephen’s College with a pro-Hindutva slogan that read, “Mandir yahin banega” (The temple will be constructed here).
Moreover, the cross outside the chapel was also defaced.
Sources said the graffiti on the door was first noticed by students on May 4 evening and the work began to get rid of the slogans the following day.
A St Stephen’s student who did not wish to be named, said, “Some students had already noticed the graffiti, but I noticed it when I was out for an early morning jog. After a while, I saw that the staff had started to re-move the slogans. All signs of the slogans were gone.”
The writing may have gone unnoticed for hours since regular classes have been suspended owing to the impending Delhi University examinations.
