Now, shunning love jihad, ABVP focusses on ‘re-evaluation’
17 Oct 2014 4:04 AM IST
Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) may now have back-stepped by saying that it never used any word like ‘love-jihad’ and is now focussing on ‘re-evaluation and special chance for students’ but the All India Students’ Association (AISA) has slammed ABVP for such campaigns and said that they were actually attempting to curb women’s freedom.
‘Love jihad is a term recently circulated by RSS and like-minded organisations. They consider these
relationships and marriages to be a part of anti-national conspiracy. It is clear to all that it is only for electoral gains that these organisations have shamelessly adopted this term to spread communal hatred,’ said Sucheta De, national president of AISA. She further said the bogey of women’s ‘honour’ and ‘safety’ has frequently been used as a justification to curb women’s freedom.

Meanwhile,? ABVP on Wednesday regained its focus on students’ demand for restarting ‘re-evaluation and special chance’ in Delhi University. ABVP’s Delhi state secretary Saket Bahuguna said: ‘it is shameful that a precious year of young students is being wasted in India’s premier university and the administration’s attitude is highly anti-student. Students who have failed in a single subject in their fifth or sixth semester have no option but to waste an entire year.’
