The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing associated to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) allegedly made hate slogans such as  “Go to Pakistan”' and “Goli Maaro Saalon Ko” against Muslims students belonging to the Muslim Students Federation (MSF) in University of Hyderabad on Wednesday, February 15, during a Union General Body Meeting.

Following the ruckus, the meeting was cancelled. The MSF, which is the student front of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), alleged that the ABVP students attempted to physically attack the students, but it was thwarted by the security personnel of the University.

In the Union General Body Meeting, the outgoing Students’ Union will submit their union report, following which the Union will be dissolved and the process to conduct fresh Students’ Union election will commence. According to the MSF students, the ABVP students disrupted the proceedings of the meeting. Sensing trouble, the meeting was called off and the Union was dissolved.

However, the Students’ Union members continued to present their report amid slogans and chaos. 

“As we were leaving the amphitheater, the ABVP students tried to physically assault us from behind. But their attempts were foiled by the security personnel present there. However, they made slogans against us saying, ‘Go to Pakistan’ and ‘Goli Maaro Saalon Ko,’ alleged president of MSF, Muhsin Bin Mustafha.

Muhsin also alleged that the University’s security personnel showed bias during the ruckus. “We also condemn the inaction and bias of the university security as they intimidated us and portrayed us as outsiders. We are not going to bow down for such hate and intimidation,” the MSF said in its statement. 

The ABVP in a statement said that they raised objections to the proceedings claiming that the Student’s Union president Abhishek Nandan, was no longer a student of the campus, and not eligible to participate in the meeting. “By university law, he is unauthorised to speak at the GBM. ABVP karyakartas rightly pointed it out and asked the union to assign either the vice president or the general secretary to address the students on behalf of them. But, these traitors who were waiting for an opportunity to unleash violence found this as an opportunity and started abusing and manhandling the karyakartas,” they claimed.

Colombo (PTI): Marxist leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake on Sunday was declared winner of the Sri Lankan presidential election by the country's Election Commission after an unprecedented second round of counting of votes.

Dissanayake, 56, the leader of the Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna party's broader front National People’s Power (NPP), defeated his closest rival Sajith Premadasa of Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB).

Incumbent president Ranil Wickremesinghe was eliminated in the first round after he failed to become within the top two in the vote list.

NPP said Dissanayake will take oath on Monday.

Earlier, the Election Commission ordered a second round of counting after no candidate secured over 50 per cent votes needed to be declared the winner of Saturday's election.

Dissanayake will be the country's 9th president.

No election in Sri Lanka has ever progressed to the second round of counting, as single candidates have always emerged as clear winners based on first-preference votes.
