A clash broke out between All India Students Association (AISA) and Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) students over cancellation of JNU student Umar Khalid's talk at Delhi University's Ramjas College.
"We are protesting because the left-wing is trying to make DU like the JNU. We are protesting against the conspiracy they are doing against DU by inviting Umar Khalid, who has been charged against the SC and the HC. Now, their Shehla Amma (Shehla Rashid Shora) comes here and abuses us. I want to ask what kind of feminism this is. She calls herself a feminist and abuses us," said a protestor to ANI.
"In front of the police, they are hitting us and the police are just watching and doing nothing," said another protestor Shushita.
