An Indian-origin student from the Law School of London School of Economics, alleged that there is discrimination on the basis of religion and anti-India rhetoric prevalent on the campus.
Taking to Twitter on Sunday, Karan Kataria, a Lawyer pursuing Masters in the LSE campus and running for the General Secretary of the LSE Student Union, claimed that he was disqualified from fighting for the General Secretary post for being a “Hindu nationalist”. “I have faced personal, vicious, and targeted attacks due to the anti-India rhetoric and Hinduphobia. I demand that the @lsesu is transparent about its reasoning. I will not be a SILENT victim of Hinduphobia,” he alleged in a tweet.
A statement, that Kataria shared on his Twitter account, read that, earlier, he was elected as the cohort’s Academic Representative and also as a Delegate to the National Union for Students in a short period.
