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Law University faced controversy when actor Chetan Ahimsa's invitation as a guest for the university's youth festival was retracted following objections raised by the ABVP (Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad).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.

Chetan had originally been invited to participate in the festival's inauguration scheduled for June 16 at 10 am. However, with the change in the guest list, Dr. P.L. Patil will now be assuming the role previously allocated to Chetan.

Rahul Gandhi to join Congress padyatra in Bihar, address party workers
Patna (PTI): Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, will join the party's ongoing 'Palayan Roko, Naukri Do' padyatra in Bihar's Begusarai district on Monday.
Later in the day, he will return to Patna from Begusarai to address the 'Samvidhan Suraksha Sammelan' (Save the Constitution Symposium). After that he will visit Sadaqat Ashram, the Bihar Congress office in Patna, to address party workers.
This will be Gandhi's third Bihar tour since January, when he had urged party workers to "inflict an ideological defeat" on the BJP in the assembly polls due later this year.
The Raebareli MP shared a minute-long video message on X on Sunday, urging the youth of Bihar to join him in the march in Begusarai wearing "white T-shirts".
"Our aim is to draw the attention of the world to the plight of Bihar's youth, who find government jobs getting scarce day by day and privatisation bringing no benefits. Let us bring the government in the state under pressure and change it," he said in the video.
Begusarai also happens to be the home district of Kanhaiya Kumar, who has been the star attraction of the padyatra, which began in East Champaran district last month.
The former JNU students' union president had unsuccessfully contested the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, on a CPI ticket, from the seat.
In the Bihar assembly polls, the Mahagathbandhan, comprising RJD, Congress and the Left, is pitted against the ruling Nitish Kumar-led NDA that also comprises the BJP.
