Bengaluru: In an incident that reportedly occurred on Monday morning, police resorted to lathi-charging the ABVP activists who were demonstrating in front of the administrative office of the Bengaluru University demanding solutions to educational issues.
Accusing the Bengaluru University of irresponsible evaluation of exam papers, creating confusion in announcements of results for the Master’s degree program along with several educational issues, ABVP activists had attempted to siege the University and Vice Chancellor’s office demanding that the mentioned issues be resolved, it is learned.
Amid this, the Bengaluru University’s Research students were also protesting against the Raichur judge for insulting Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. It is learned that amid these separate demonstrations, a war of words had ensued between the ABVP activists and the Research students of the university.
The Research students are said to have stated, “Delay in Mark’s card, the announcement of results are ordinary issues. Compared to this, the fact that Dr. Ambedkar was insulted is a bigger issue. Therefore, we are going to organize a protest today. You can come tomorrow.”
