The meeting was also attended by AICC general-secretary and in-charge of Delhi, Shakeel Ahmed, AICC general secretary Mukul Wasnik, Union Minister Oscar Fernandes, NSUI national Secretary Girish.

A resolution thanking Congress president Sonia Gandhi for passage of the Food Security Bill in Lok Sabha was also passed at the meeting.
Another resolution wishing "good health and long life" to the Congress president was also passed in the meeting.
In his address, Agarwal said NSUI has always fought for the welfare of the student community and held many rallies to secure the democratic rights of the students.
He said the students who enroll at various colleges of Delhi University on merit from all over the country expect an egalitarian atmosphere, with every student getting equal treatment.
Speaking on the occasion, Shakeel Ahmed said NSUI through its commendable works has emerged as a popular students' union.
Wasnik said it was a special responsibility on the part of Congress workers of Delhi that they get actively associated with DUSU elections by helping NSUI candidates.
