Expressing vehement protest over the choice of place by the ABVP to hold its regional convention, the members of National Students Union of India (NSUI) burned the effigy of the ABVP at the DAV- PG College here on Saturday. The agitated members also shouted slogans against GRD institute where ABVP would hold its convention.
On the day large number of NSUI activists assembled in the college and consigned the effigy to flames.
Speaking on the occasion, NSUI leader Aditya Bisht said that the ABVP is planning to hold its 20th regional convention at GRD institute.
He said that everyone knows that a heinous crime of gang rape of a minor was reported from the GRD residential school, Bhauwala on August 14, 2018. Very recently, the court has sentenced 20 years of imprisonment to the accused and the Principal of the school in the case.
He said that it is unfortunate that on one hand the ABVP makes lofty talks about Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and on the other hand its leaders are planning to hold their convention in such an institute where heinous crime of gang rape occurred in one of its branches. Bisht said that the ABVP should change the venue of its convention failing which the agitation would be intensified against it.
