ABVP celebrated Ram Navami at Jadavpur University and outside Calcutta University, triggering protests by Left student group RSF, which alleged attempts to “saffronise” campuses. The celebrations went ahead amid sloganeering and tight police security, while university authorities said no permission was granted at Calcutta University.
Kolkata: Members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the students' wing of the RSS, celebrated Ram Navami in Jadavpur University and near the Calcutta University's main campus amid tight security arrangements.
In Jadavpur University, activists of the Revolutionary Students Front (RSF) gathered near the ABVP office on the campus, when the punja was underway, and raised slogans alleging efforts to saffronise the university campus known for its liberal thinking.
An ABVP spokesperson said, "There is no reason to give any importance to the Left outfit, which has no relevance among the present generation of students."
"We chose to ignore the slogan shouting of a few ultra-Left students who have lost all connection with the ordinary students and their sentiments. The members of other communities, including Muslims, had no objection to the celebrations," the spokesperson, Ananta Barui, said.
