Firstpost

But the ABVP has continued to protest other campus events, even literary events, like the one in Delhi University’s Ramjas College, for inviting researchers like Umar Khalid and Shehla Rashid, who had joined the Jammu and Kashmir People’s movement, a political party started by former IAS officer Shah Faesal, forcing the college to cancel the event. The ABVP’s ire was also turned on noted historian Ramachandra Guha, who had to say “no” to Ahmedabad university fearing a backlash from the BJP-backed student political party. A judicial committee set up to conduct an inquiry into happenings also said that “anti-social elements” and political parties provoked the students. “It is good for the nation that students are involved in politics,” said Jha, adding, “but political parties take advantage of the student leaders.
