Umar Khalid, Shehla Rashid Condemn ABVP Protest at Ramjas College

A seminar was cancelled after ABVP members protested against the participation of Umar Khalid and Shehla Rashid.

A two-day long seminar organised by Delhi University’s Ramjas College was cancelled on Tuesday after members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) protested against the participation of Jawaharlal Nehru University students Umar Khalid and Shehla Rashid Shora.

Khalid is one of the students who was at the helm of the “nationalism” controversy that had erupted out of JNU last year.

Many students, including Shehla and Umar, took to social media to condemn the attack.

1) ABVP pelted stones inside a seminar room at Ramjas college today held by Ramjas literary society.

Pellet guns anyone?@delhipolice?

2) ABVP justified stone-pelting in Ramjas by calling Umar 'anti-national'

Shouldn't ABVP be banned for their parent party's ISI links?

4) The cowardly @delhipolice says they can't do anything about the assault & can't protect Umar!

This is how they behave during riots.

I absolutely condemn the violence of ABVP Protest at Ramjas College. If you don't show civility and maturity for a debate, you lose.
