| At Presidency University today, West Bengal Governor MK Narayanan said that he had failed its students by failing to protect them from violence on campus. However, he said that "others too have to share the blame".
Mr Narayanan, who is also the Chancellor of the university, apologised more than once to the students, who later put tough questions to him about Wednesday's mob attack.
He stressed that Presidency is "a dream project" for Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and that, she is "devastated" by the nearly 30-minute-long rampage at one of West Bengal's most prestigious education institutions.
On Wednesday, a group of at least 100 people carrying flags of Ms Banerjee's party broke into the college and used javelins and sticks to attack students and teachers. They threatened women with rape. "We don't feel safe... nor do our teachers," said a woman student to the Governor
His grim response: "Bengal used to be known for the safety of women and girls. I don't know what has happened to that culture."
