Trying to burn an effigy of Owaisi - who had said he would not utter "Bharat Mata ki Jai" even if a knife was put to his throat - in Kanpur, an ABVP member's clothes caught fire. A video that went viral on social media showed the ABVP member's colleagues trying to remove his burning clothes and save him.
