Jammu University bars entry of ABVP; BJP hints at action against VC

News Agencies | Updated on: 10 February 2017, 1:50 IST

The student wing of the BJP, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), has been reportedly "banned" in Jammu University.

On 24 May, BJP general secretary Ram Madhav condemned the "obstinate behavior" of Jammu University Vice-Chancellor Prof RD Sharma - in connection with the ban on the ABVP in all educational institutions in the region. The BJP leader said that action would be taken accordingly.

The entry of the ABVP has been banned in all educational institutions in the Jammu region. The ban on ABVP comes in the back drop of BJP sharing power with PDP in the state.

"BJP Ministers take up Jammu Univ VC obstinate behaviour against ABVP. Action wl b taken (sic)," Madhav tweeted.

It is reported that the ABVP had sought permission from Government Women College Parade, Jammu, for holding national executive committee meet, which was rejected outright, even though Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Nirmal Singh was the guest for the event.

Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir BJP leaders have come at forefront in ABVP's defence.

State legislative assembly speaker Kavinder Gupta has termed the move as unfortunate and related it to depriving the organisation of its political rights.
