The Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has initiated ‘Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) in Campus’ campaign requesting the student-voters to unfailingly exercise their franchise in the upcoming Delhi Assembly election.
The DUSU office-bearers visited a bevy of Delhi University colleges, including Hansraj College, Hindu College, Rajdhani College, and Shivaji College, holding several public discussions over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) as well as the upcoming Delhi Assembly Election. There was a candid exchange of views between the students and the Union representatives during the fruitful dialogue.
Akshit Dahiya, President, DUSU, said, that the DUSU is approaching the student-voters by way of pamphlet distribution and classroom interactions to counter the CAA-centred disinformation campaign that is currently underway.
“While we have successfully frustrated many attempts aimed at vitiating the atmosphere of peace on college campuses, engineered by student outfits affiliated to opposition political parties, we continue to remain vigilant against any such eventuality. We wish to sustain our awareness campaign and hope to conduct several academic debates to clear each and every misconception regarding the CAA,” he said.
Shivangi Kharwal, Joint Secretray, DUSU, said that they are making a passionate appeal to every student to exercise their invaluable right to vote, as well as encourage their near and dear ones to exercise their franchise as well.
“In our awareness campaign, we have reiterated our principled stance on NOTA, asking voters to disregard it as an electoral option and instead choose the best possible alternative available,” said Kharwal.
