The National Students Union of India (NSUI) today extended support to the outstation students of unrest-hit NIT Srinagar, who were lathicharged by police on April 5.
On that day, the outstation students tried to take out a march outside the campus but were stopped by the police, leading to violence including vandalism by the students and lathicharge by police.
The NSUI activists accused BJP of playing with the career of students.
"BJP is playing with the career of students of the country. BJP has been exposed as the party has shown its double standard on every student-related issue," NSUI State General Secretary Avijot Singh said.
He alleged ABVP never supported any student-related issue.
"ABVP was only playing politics over the issue and never worked for the welfare of students. It always tried to stay away from the NIT issue," Singh charged.
He said ABVP targeted the Jammu and Kashmir police while BJP continued to be a part of the coalition government in the state.
Singh said NSUI has extended whole-hearted support to the non-local students of NIT Srinagar.
