    New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi on Friday alleged that the newly elected mayor Shelly Oberoi was physically assaulted by a BJP male member in the Civic Centre.

    She urged the BJP to stop the “goondaism” in the Civic centre and said that BJP should accept their defeat.

    While talking to ANI, Atishi said, “Today BJP showed goondaism in the Civic centre. A standing committee election was going on. When counting started BJP realised they were losing & they created a ruckus. The mayor was attacked & physically assaulted by a BJP male member.”

    She further stated, “What behaviour is this? This is shameful and condemnable. The country is seeing this. BJP should accept their defeat. I request BJP to stop their goondaism. Those who have attacked the Mayor will be sent behind bars.”

    Meanwhile, Aam Admi Party (AAP) Councillor Ashok Kumar Maanu collapsed at Delhi Civic Centre minutes back and alleged that the ruckus had been caused by the BJP goons.

    While talking to ANI, Maanu said, “They are so shameless that they attacked even women and the Mayor. BJP goons did this.”

    On the other hand, BJP leader Harish Khurana blamed Aam Admi Party behind the ruckus. He said, “Election officers declare the election and say that votes declared invalid by Mayor are valid and three candidates each of AAP and BJP have won. But AAP does hooliganism here as instructed by Kejriwal. We won’t tolerate this goondaism & approach the Court.”

    On Friday, Maanu collapsed at Delhi Civic Centre as clashes broke out here between AAP and BJP councillors.

    Ruckus broke out at Delhi Civic Centre once again as AAP and BJP Councillors jostled, manhandled and rained blows on each other.

    This is the third day of commotion in the House.

    On Friday, amid political slugfest, the voting process to elect six members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) took place at the Civic Center in the national capital

    Ahead of the election of six members of the MCD Standing Committee, Delhi MCD House witnessed sloganeering by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) councillors.

    In a jolt to the Aam Aadmi Party two days after it won the polls for the mayor and deputy mayor in the MCD, Bawana councillor Pawan Sehrawat joined the BJP on Friday.

    The switchover happened shortly before the polling to elect members of the MCD’s Standing Committee on Friday.

    Earlier, on Thursday, the House was adjourned for the 13th time since it convened post the MCD polls in December 4, last year, after councillors of the ruling AAP and the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party came to blows over polling to elect members of the Standing Committee.

  • Goa: ABVP creates ruckus in St Xavier’s College

    Goa: ABVP creates ruckus in St Xavier’s College

    [ad_1]

    Members of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) barged into the campus of St Xavier’s College, one of Goa’s premium colleges on Saturday and disrupted ongoing classes.

    According to Mapusa police, the ABVP members were upset with the principal for not constituting a student council.

    Speaking to Siasat.com, a police officer from the Mapusa police station said, “A few ABVP members were elected as student’s council but they alleged that the principal was purposefully delaying their induction. Hence they demonstrated in front of the principal’s office.”

    Assuring that the situation is under control, the police officer said, “A meeting will soon be conducted between the college management and ABVP student delegations regarding the issue.”

    However, the principal of St Xavier College surrounded by his staff and teachers posted a video describing the incident that took place on January 21.

    He said the incident happened when science practicals were underway in the Chemistry lab.

    “While the classes were in progress, ABVP members barged in shouting slogans, trying to instigate students to leave their classrooms and join them. The students however refused. In order to ensure the safety of our staff and students, the management asked them to leave the campus,” the principal said.

    He thanked the Mapusa police station and Bardez taluka mamlatdar(an officer in charge of a taluka) Dashrath Gawas for restoring peace in the campus.

    Condemning the incident, the principal appealed to his students not to engage in unruly activities.

    NSUI Goa, Congress condemns ABVP’s act

    Condemning what transpired at St Xavier’s College, the president of the State National Students Union of India (NSUI), Naushad Choudhary said that they will file a police complaint against those who created the ruckus.

    Addressing the media on Sunday, Choudhary said, “We have details of students who went to St Xavier’s college and unlawfully disrupted the classes. We will file a complaint against the students on Monday. We will not keep quiet and appeal to all students to stay united and throw such people with disrupted agenda out.”

    Alleging that some of the disruptors were outsiders, Choudhary questioned their access inside the college.

    “Among the ABVP group who barged in the campus five were outsiders and two came from Maharashtra. Who gave them the right to enter the campus? It was an internal matter and they should have resolved it with the students of the college and the management,” he said.

    Meanwhile, the Congress party also condemned the attack and said that such elements should not be allowed entry into any premises.

    “The youth wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stormed into St Xavier’s College in Mapusa and disrupted classes. They were trying to infiltrate and promulgate law and order disturbances and probably violence. The teachers were panicky and the entire staff was worried,” Congress MLA Adv Carlos Alvares Ferreira said.
