Violent protest erupted at Delhi University’s Ramjas college on Wednesday, with clashes between ABVP and All India Students Association (AISA) members taking place.
The scuffle broke out during a protest march by the college students and teachers demanding action against the ABVP’s disruption of a literary seminar on Tuesday.
The Common Student Teachers March was planned to begin from the Ramjas campus to Maurice Nagar police station, when they were stopped by members of the ABVP, the student wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
