SFI calls for university strike across West Bengal on March 3, police warns of action

The Hindu  

The face-off between State Education Minister Bratya Basu and supporters of the Student Federation of India at Jadavpur University on Saturday triggered a full blown political row on Sunday, with the SFI bringing out processions in different districts, demanding the resignation and arrest of the Minister. Meanwhile, the SFI organised protests across the State against the State Education Minister, whose vehicle ran over protesting students at Jadavpur University on Saturday. SFI State secretary Debanjan Dey held a press conference and said that the Minister, and not students, was responsible for Saturday’s hooliganism. Indranuj Roy, a first year student stated to be a member of the ultra-Left Revolutionary Students Front, and Abhinaba Basu, an SFI Kolkata district committee member, fell on the ground as the convoy of the Minister was trying to leave the campus, with protesters seen hanging from the side of the car, trying to stop the Minister from leaving.
