# Neha Bora ink attack, Swarajya flags AISA parent party’s Maoist links 2026-08-08T09:40:23+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Neha Bora, national president of the All India Students' Association (AISA), was attacked with ink during a student protest in Ranchi over alleged irregularities in Jharkhand recruitment exams. The 29-year-old JNU PhD scholar had earlier sat on a 23-day hunger strike at Jantar Mantar alongside education reformer Sonam Wangchuk. She says the attack will not intimidate her and wore the ink 'with pride'. Meanwhile, Swarajya magazine has published a detailed critique of AISA's parent organisation, CPI(ML) Liberation, accusing it of harbouring a Maoist revolutionary agenda that aims to overthrow the Indian state. The article questions why Bora's interviewers have not probed her party's ideological history. Bora's family, she has said, are staunch BJP supporters. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - swarajyamag.com Tags: AISA, exam irregularities, Jharkhand, JNU, Neha Bora, student protests Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ink-attack-on-jnu-scholar-neha-bora-vow-to-continue-protest/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
