Anti-Brahmin slogans were found written on walls of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in Varanasi. The walls of the university were painted in red ink which read ?Brahmin teri kabra khudegi, BHU ki dharti pe? which can be roughly translated as ?Brahmins your grave will be dug at BHU ground?. Another slogan read, ?Kashmir to jhaki hai, pura bharat baki hai? which can be roughly translated as ?Kashmir is just a trailer, rest of Bharat is left.?

These slogans on the walls inside the university were allegedly written by members of Bhagat Singh Chhatra Morcha. After such destructive slogans were found written, the university deployed heavy security inside the campus, fearing any further hooliganism.
