On the other hand, the ABVP alleged that left-wing students had interrupted their Ram Navami poojan. Taking to Twitter, Sidharth Yadav, the National Media Convener of ABVP called it an 'orchestrated act by Left'. He wrote: "A fake letter produced by AISA to propagate their false propaganda. A letter written by AISA JNU president claimed that of hostel committee. If nothing was wrong, why hide your presidents name? Intolerance towards Ramnavmi poojan led to this orchestrated act by Left."
