Tensions soared as ABVP supporters demonstrated outside the residence of SBSP leader Om Prakash Rajbhar on Wednesday. Accusations flew after Rajbhar labeled the protestors as 'goons' following a demonstration at Barabanki university. The situation escalated with allegations of stone-pelting at Rajbhar's Hazratganj home.
The protest stems from grievances against Shri Ramswaroop Memorial University regarding unaffiliated law courses, illegal student expulsions, and arbitrary fines. Video footage revealed violent confrontations, leading to injuries and property damage amid the protests. The ABVP demands an apology from Rajbhar and his removal from office.
Om Prakash Rajbhar's son, Arun, expressed outrage at the protest tactics, condemning them as 'hooliganism.' He accused protestors of using abusive language and damaging property. The ABVP vows to persist in its 'justice-for-students' campaign.
