ABVP men create ruckus

Special Correspondent

JAIPUR: A group of students belonging to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad barged into the conference hall of the Rajasthan University guesthouse to disrupt the press conference on the recent High Court verdict on the Emmanuel Mission International (EMI).

About four dozen youth, who earlier were found jumping over the compound wall of the guesthouse to enter its premises, led by a local ABVP leader, shouted slogans against EMI and the activist groups and stalled the proceedings for 20 minutes. "We will not allow any anti-national activity here. This is the challenge of ABVP," they said asking media persons to leave the place.

"Desh drohiyon ko phansi do" (hang the traitors) the youths shouted even as the guest house manger as well as Prakash Chaturvedi, a varsity doyen and two times member of the Rajasthan University Syndicate, tried to talk peace with them.
