K'taka State Law University drops actor Chetan Ahimsa's name from guest list after ABVP's objection
Chetan was invited as Chief Guest for varsity's youth festival
Hubballi: Hubballi's Karnataka State Law University faced controversy when actor Chetan Ahimsa's invitation as a guest for the university's youth festival was retracted following objections raised by the ABVP (Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad). The University Chancellor, Prof. C. Basavaraja, made the decision to remove Chetan's name from the guest list.
ABVP workers expressed their strong opposition to Chetan's inclusion as a guest and appealed to the Vice-Chancellor to replace him. They further threatened to stage protests during the program if their demand was not met.
In response to the objections raised, Chancellor Prof. C. Basavaraja announced during a press conference held on Wednesday that instead of Chetan, Dr. P.L. Patil, the chancellor of Dharwad Agricultural University, would be invited as a guest in the youth festival.

Belur: Two women working in coffee plantation sustain severe injuries in wild elephant attack
