With the students' union election just a month away, the RSS-backed ABVP screened a 'documentary' on the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots in the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus on Monday. Directed by journalist Vivek Sinha, the 36-minute-long documentary titled 'Muzaffarnagar, Aakhir Kyon?' suggests that the riots stemmed from sexual harassment of women by some minority community youths.

"If you have a mother, sister, wife or sister-in-law, will you tolerate anyone harassing, gang-raping or kidnapping them if they go outside? If anyone says that (they will do so), what will you do," Vivek Sinha asked the students at the screening, reported The Telegraph.

Sinha told the 100 odd students who were present there that suppression of such incidents where an alleged "systematic attack" took place on "Hindu women", was the reason he made the documentary.

Saurabh Sharma, an ABVP leader said that the film was screened so the JNU students can learn about the 'truth'. "Till now, only a one-sided picture of the riots has been painted. By screening this film, we wanted to question why such incidents of Hindu women being harassed were being suppressed and love jihad was being perpetuated," he told Indian Express.
