BBC documentary screening: Left-leaning students stage protest at JNU against ABVP’s ‘hooliganism’

 

New Delhi : Members of various Left organisations staged a protest at the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus on Thursday against the “hooliganism” of the RSS-affiliated ABVP, a day after students claimed that stones were hurled at them during the screening of the controversial BBC documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots.

The students, affiliated to the Students’ Federation of India, Democratic Students’ Federation, All India Students Association and other organisations raised slogans against the ABVP and held placards that read ‘rise in the rage against ABVP hooliganism’.

“ABVP goons hurled stones at students gathered for the screening of the documentary. This is hooliganism,” AISA JNU president Qasim said.
