On 10 February 2026 activists of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) vandalised a Bangladesh-themed food stall and set fire to the country's national flag during a cultural programme at MIT World Peace University in Pune. The incident occurred in the evening at the university's Kothrud campus during the World Cultural Festival, where international students had set up food stalls representing different countries. BJYM's Pune city president, Dushyant Mohol, claimed the incident followed a dispute over the display of the Bangladesh flag. A video showing the vandalism and flag burning, accompanied by slogans, later went viral on social media. [8]
