The AISA demanded on Saturday that the ABVP should not contest the president's post in the Delhi University students' union elections as repentance for its decision last year to field a candidate who had a fake certificate.
"The ABVP has not apologised for the Basoya fraud. The common students of Delhi University felt cheated," AISA Delhi president Kawalpreet Kaur said.
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) had fielded Ankiv Basoya for the DUSU president's post last year. Basoya was elected, but it later emerged that he had allegedly submitted a fake certificate to gain admission, following which he was expelled from the RSS-affiliated outfit.
"The question is, 'Will ABVP seek forgiveness?'" Kaur asked. "The outfit should apologise to the students and not contest the president's post as a way to seek the students' forgiveness."
