ABVP protests Rahul Gandhi's university visits in Bihar | Activists of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) on Wednesday protested against Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi's visit to university campus. On Tuesday, Gandhi visited Lalit Narayan Mithila University in Darbhanga and interacted with students. The ABVP has alleged
that such visits are politicising the college campus atmosphere. Meanwhile, the
protesting students performed 'Shudi Karan' (purification ritual) in which they
poured Ganges water on Lalit Narayan Mithila University Vice Chancellor Padmasha
Jha. "The campus belongs to the students and student organizations. There should
be no political activity here. But the way Rahul Gandhi's programme was conducted,
shows the university is helping him to run a Congress membership campaign. Condemning
this, ABVP held a purification," said Shishir Kumar, District Head of ABVP. Rahul
was on a two-day visit to Bihar to shore up support for the Congress party. He
began his visit on Monday from Bhitharwa Ashram, where country's iconic freedom
fighter Mahatma Gandhi began his Satyagraha movement in 1917 to protest the British
atrocities on farmers to force them into indigo cultivation. |
