ABVP demands CBI inquiry

PALAKKAD: The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad’s (ABVP) 27th State conference, which ended here on Sunday, in a resolution demanded that the government order an inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the violent incidents on the NSS Hindu College campus in Changanassery last week resulting in the death a police officer.

The resolution demanded that the telephone conversation among the Home Minister, Director-General of Police (DGP) and the Kottayam Deputy Superintendent of Police (Dy.SP) also be included in the terms of reference of the inquiry.

The resolution also demanded a separate inquiry into the incidents of beating up of ABVP workers in police custody and compensation for them.

The ABVP will organise a mass campaign on college campuses between November 7 and 13. In Kottayam district, the campaign will be between November 7 and 9, the resolution said.

The conference elected S. Manu as State president and P. Sudhir as secretary of the organisation.

Inaugurating the conference on Saturday, P. Murali Manohar, vice-president of the ABVP, said that his organisation aimed at moulding people to bring about social changes rather than bringing political parties to power for social changes. Mr. Manohar said that the ABVP believed that political changes would not bring social changes. There are many social problems such as dowry which no political party is able to address. But man can make those changes; so social changes through moulding the future generation is the aim of the ABVP.

He said that other students organisations believed that by bringing some political parties to power they would be able to address the social problems. But this has been proved wrong. The meeting was presided over by P.K. Madhavan, all-India president of Vidya Bharathy.
