NEW DELHI: Violent protests continued at
Delhi University's
Ramjas college today, with clashes between the
ABVP and All India Students Association (AISA) members taking place, ANI reported.
The scuffles broke out during a protest march by the college students and teachers demanding action against the ABVP's disruption of a literary seminar yesterday.
The Common Student Teachers March was planned to begin from the
Ramjas campus to Maurice Nagar police station, when they were stopped by members of the ABVP, the student wing of the
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
There was heavy police deployment to control crowds, but the demonstrations and sloganeering did not stop. After causing a ruckus, the ABVP members also reportedly clashed with the police.
There were also reports of students being threatened, locked inside the college and beaten.
Yesterday,
ABVP members disrupted a seminar at which
JNU student Umar Khalid was invited to speak. Khalid was among the students charged with sedition in connection with an event at JNU last year where anti-national slogans were allegedly raised.
Members of Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) and the ABVP gathered outside the college and shouted slogans demanding that the invite to "anti-nationals" be cancelled. Even after the college cancelled Khalid's address, the ABVP allegedly vandalised college property and pelted stones at students and teachers.
