National Students Union of India (NSUI), the students wing of the Congress on Thursday said Alka, a student of Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, would contest as its candidate for the presidential post in the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) election, after nomination of Rocky Tuseed was rejected.
Rest of its candidates — Kunal Sehrawat for the post of vice-president, Meenakshi Meena (secretary) and Avinash Yadav (joint secretary) —remained the same. Alka had filed nomination as an Independent candidate.
The NSUI had on Wednesday urged the DUSU poll authorities to accept its candidate Rocky Tuseed’s nomination, claiming it was declined on grounds of “disciplinary action” which were not clearly defined.
Calling it “arbitrary” and “mala fide”, the National Students Union of India (NSUI) said there was no clear definition for application of rules.
“Without clear definition, there is bound to be arbitrary application of standards which is bad in law. Will a fine of Rs 300 for breaking a chair also constitute disciplinary actionIJ” the NSUI asked, in a letter to the poll panel.
