The motorcade of Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar was stopped by protesters at gate number 5 of the of the Jadavpur University campus, where he had gone to attend its annual convocation. Members of the Trinamool Congress Employees' Union showed black flags to Dhankhar, who is the chancellor of the university, and blocked his car at 10.30 am on Tuesday.

The protesters raised 'go back' slogans and showed placards that read 'No NRC, No CAA'. The vice-chancellor and the registrar tried to persuade the protesters to let Dhankhar in.

The governor was on Monday heckled and shown black flags twice at the university, a hotbed of anti-CAA protests, a day after he declared as the university's decision to defer the December 24 special convocation because of possible trouble 'illegal and invalid'. He was to attend a meeting of the university Court, its highest decision-making body on Monday.

After he could not attend the Court meeting due to agitation by stakeholders, including students and non-teaching staff, the chancellor had called up vice-chancellor Suranjan Das requesting him to hold the meeting at Raj Bhavan. But, the Court members unanimously decided that the meeting should not be shifted elsewhere as it had already started at the JU campus.
