JNU Ripple Effect: ABVP And NSUI Students Come To Blows In Ahmedabad

A fringe group by the name of Hindu Raksha Dal has claimed responsibility for Sunday's violence in JNU with the Delhi Police saying that the claim is being investigated.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat): The ripple effect of JNU violence on Sunday spilled over to Ahmedabad on Tuesday as students of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and National Students Union of India (NSUI) got involved in a violent clash outside the former's office. Reports say NSUI students were staging a protest outside ABVP's office accusing the latter of violence. NSUI is the student wing of Congress while ABVP is the RSS's student wing. Visuals showed a group of students thrashing another with police personnel trying to control the situation. "A deplorable act by ABVP goons & clearly reflective of their violent tendencies. We strongly condemn this act of terror & demand swift action against the perpetrators. How can the BJP stand idly by as innocent students are brutalised? They have turned India into a war zone,"a tweet from the Congress account on Twitter read. Protests by students wings have broken out in many parts of the country after Sunday's violence at JNU. Students from both, ABVP and Left, have been blaming each other for the violent attack conducted by masked goons armed with rods and sticks. The horrific attack on students and teachers at the Jawaharlal Nehru University on Sunday left 34 people injured. The CPI(M) today questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on the violence, charging that he was either "complicit or incompetent." Meanwhile, a fringe group by the name of Hindu Raksha Dal has claimed responsibility for Sunday's violence in JNU with the Delhi Police saying that the claim is being investigated. The JNU is limping back to normalcy after the violence but fear still looms in the campus.
