ABVP meets UGC chairman, demands CUET-UG ‘common counselling’

[ad_1]
New Delhi: A delegation of RSS-affiliated ABVP met with University Grants Commission Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar here Saturday and demanded “common counselling” for admissions through CUET-UG.
The delegation also requested that examinations being conducted by the National Examination Agency (NTA) should only be held at “government and trusted centres”, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) said in a statement.
Nearly 14 lakh students have applied for CUET-UG this time, up by 41 per cent since last year. The CUET-UG remains the second-largest entrance exam in the country in terms of applicants. In the debut edition of the exam, 12.50 lakh students registered themselves and 9.9 lakh of them submitted their applications.

During the meeting, the ABVP delegation led by its national general secretary Yagywalkya Shukla raised the issue of increasing financial pressure on students due to registration fees, and demanded a simplified admission process and a one-time fee for the same, the statement said.
“The ABVP has demanded that common counselling should be done under CUET like IIT and NIT. That the examinations being conducted by the National Examination Agency (NTA) should be conducted only at government and trusted centres, and the number of examination centres in the country should be increased,” it added.
In the statement, Shukla said it was necessary to ensure that the admission process was simplified and the counselling system made more convenient.
“The fee should be charged only once as per the financial convenience of the students. Along with this, every effort should be made to create transparency in the examinations. Having a common counselling process will make it easier for the students,” Shukla added.

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Tension prevails in Osmania University campus after police foiled the rally of Akhila Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) a student organization affiliated to the Bhartiya Janata Party from taking out a rally on Saturday.
Hundreds of students of the ABVP took out rallies to protest against the TSPSC paper leak case demanding the suspension of Dr. B Janardhan Reddy, chairman Telangana State Public Service Commissioner (TSPSC), an enquiry by a sitting judge of Telangana High Court into the alleged paper leak case.
The police had closed all the gates of the Osmania University campus to thwart attempts by ABVP activists. Several activists jumped over the gates to head towards Dharna Chowk where Bhartiya Janata Party leaders are holding a mass dharna on the paper leak case issue.
The police rounded up ABVP leaders and physically bundled them into police vehicles. The activists sat in front of the buses demanding the release of their leaders.

Hyderabad: ABVP protests near KCR’s residence over paper leak

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Tension prevailed at Pragati Bhavan, the official residence of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao here on Tuesday as ABVP markers tried to lay siege to the complex to protest over Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) question paper leak.
Carrying ABVP flags and raising slogans, the protesters including women tried to move closer to the complex but were stopped by police.
There was heated argument between ABVP leaders and police personnel. As the ABVP workers continued their protest, police arrested them and shifted them to Goshamahal police station.
ABVP had last week staged a protest at TSPSC office which had turned violent. The protesters had barged into office premises and damaged the board.
Police then arrested some ABVP men who were later remanded to judicial custody.
Police had stepped up security around Pragati Bhavan in view of the planned protest by ABVP. However, some protesters took police by surprise and managed to reach near the high security premises.
The ABVP leaders demanded resignation of Information Technology minister K. T. Rama Rao over paper leak. They also demanded judicial probe into the case.
Hyderabad police last week arrested nine persons, including two employees of TSPSC, in connection with the paper leak case.

The TSPSC had conducted the examination on March 5 for 833 vacancies of Assistant Engineer, Municipal Assistant Engineer, Technical Officer, and Junior Technical Officer in various engineering departments. A total of 55,000 candidates had written the exam.
However, the Commission suspected leakage of the question paper and lodged a complaint with the police.
Following the arrest of the accused the Commission cancelled the exam and also postponed other exams scheduled to be held later this month.
Amid doubts that the accused may have leaked question papers of some other exams, the Commission on Friday decided to cancel three other exams including Group I Prelims.
Nearly 2.86 lakh aspirants of Group I posts had appeared in Group-I exam conducted on October 16, 2022.

Gujarat univ cancels seminar after ABVP opposes participation by Jamia prof

[ad_1]
Vadodara: The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (MSU) here on Wednesday cancelled a seminar after members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) objected to the participation by a professor from Jamia Millia Islamia university.
Zubair Meenai, the professor, is “a communist and known for making anti-India comments,” claimed a leader of the ABVP, a student organization affiliated to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
MSU’s Faculty of Social Work had organized the seminar on ‘Respecting diversity through joint social action’ on its campus on Wednesday afternoon.
As per the invitation, one of the invited speakers was Prof Meenai of the Department of Social Work, Jamia Millia Islamia university, New Delhi.
But soon after the event started, ABVP members reached the spot and started shouting the slogan ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, compelling the organisers to cancel the event.
In a video which went viral, ABVP members can be seen confronting the Dean of the Faculty of Social Work, Dr Bhavna Mehta.
When one of the ABVP members asked why they invited Meenai `who is known for making anti-India comments,’ Mehta said he was invited as an academician.
ABVP members then asked Mehta not to invite such people in the future.
Mehta was not available for comments.

“Meenai is a communist and known for making anti-India comments. He even made such comments against (late RSS ideologue) Nanaji Deshmukh. How come the Faculty did not find a worthy academician in Gujarat to speak on the subject that they had to invite him? ABVP will never tolerate such persons who have the anti-India mindset,” said Dhruv Parekh, the ABVP’s MSU unit president.

[ad_1]

ABVP stalls screening of BBC docu on Modi on Andhra University campus

[ad_1]
Visakhapatnam: The controversy surrounding the BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reached Visakhapatnam with the members of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) stalling the screening of the documentary on the campus of Andhra University here.
Members of the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) had organised a screening of the contentious documentary on the Andhra University campus on January 27.
However, a group of ABVP activists entered the Satavahana hostel on the campus at 10 p.m. and demanded that the screening of the documentary should be stopped as it is banned in the country.
This led to a minor clash between the supporters of the two groups, eye witnesses said.
The situation was brought under control after the university’s chief warden for arts college hostels, G. Veerraju, and the police reached the spot.
G. Subbaraju, ABVP’s organising secretary, said that though the documentary is banned in the country, SFI wanted to show it on the University campus, which was against the law, adding that a petition will be submitted to the Vice Chancellor not to encourage such developments on the campus.
However, SFI members claimed that they are not against the Prime Minister, and that the screening was organised in the interest of freedom of expression of the people of this country.

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: In a new development, members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) are planning to screen right-wing film director Vivek Agnihotri’s movie – The Kashmir Files – at the north campus of the University of Hyderabad (UoH) campus here on Thursday evening.
Speaking to Siasat.com, ABVP HCU president Namrutha said that The Kashmir Files is a movie that everyone should watch.
When asked if it was a retaliation move against the recent screening of the banned BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi which showcases the latter’s role in the 2002 Gujarat riots when he was the state’s chief minister, Namrutha deflected the question.
“It is a good movie. Moreover, students were asking us to screen some movie and since it is Republic Day, an important day in Indian history, we thought why not. Kashmir Files is an important movie and we think everyone should watch it,” she said.
When asked if the university has granted permission for the screening, she declined to comment. Instead she said, “The movie screening was planned for 6 pm today evening. However, the university is not allowing us to screen and that is why we are protesting.”
Earlier, a video emerged on Twitter where ABVP members are seen conducting a sit-in and shouting slogans to ban BBC.
