Ramjas violence: Arvind Kejriwal meets Delhi LG over campus ruckus, demands strict action

CM Arvind Kejriwal said LG Anil Baijal had promised "strict action" against ABVP activists who are blamed for the violence in the Delhi University.

Chief Minister of Delhi and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal met Lt Governor Anil Baijal on February 28 over Ramjas violence ruckus. CM Arvind Kejriwal took to microblogging site Twitter and said, “he met Baijal and demanded the arrest of “those who caused violence in DU, shouted anti-India slogans and who threatened (student) Gurmehar (Kaur).”

Kejriwal further asserted, LG Anil Baijal had promised “strict action” against ABVP activists who are blamed for the violence in the Delhi University.

Kejriwal’s meeting followed the February 22 attacks on students, lecturers and journalists in the Delhi University campus for which the Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has been blamed.

Clashes took place last week between the Left-affiliated All India Students Association (AISA) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) backed Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) leading to each several injuries. The reason behind the clashes was an invite extended to JNU students Umar Khalid, who is facing sedition charge, and Shehla Rashid to address a seminar. The seminar was withdrawn by the college authorities following opposition by the ABVP.

Gurmehar Kaur student of Lady Shri Ram College has created a massive stir as she came out to speak against Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad in the wake of the violence at Ramjas college of Delhi University. Gurmehar has alleged that she was threatened with rape after her social media campaign against the ABVP went viral.
