Bhopal: At least ten
people were injured when National Students Union of India (NSUI)
activists, demanding a CBI probe into the death of a Khandwa college
professor, clashed with police here Thursday.
The Congress-backed students union was also demanding a ban on the
Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), a students union
affiliated to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, whose activists
allegedly caused the death of the professor early this month.
The NSUI along with Congress women cell leaders had proposed to
surround the Madhya Pradesh assembly here.
"Hundreds of NSUI cadres gathered at Lily Talkies to march towards
the assembly. We tried to stop them, in retaliation they pelted
stones at our officials in which additional SP Rajesh Chandel and
DSP S.N. Zaidi and one more policeman got injured," the
Superintendent of Police Yogesh Choudhary told IANS.
Priti Mudgal, president of the state Congress' women cell, claimed
that police first lathi charged them, injuring her and seven NSUI
cadres.
On March 3, at the Bhagwant Rao Agriculture College in Khandwa, ABVP
cadres, including a girl student, thrashed a professor, Ashok Kumar
Choudhary, and painted his face black over the professor's alleged
affair with a hostel girl.
The attack shocked another professor S.S. Thakur, who was present
there. He went on leave and later died following a heart attack at
his home on March 9.
"The state government is patronizing such organizations that are
spreading chaos in universities. The standard of education has
deteriorated and unemployment has increased in the state but no step
is being taken by the government. But when this is being opposed,
police beat up agitators," said the state Congress president Suresh
Pachouri.
The police later arrested about hundred NSUI cadres and sent them to
jail.
