ABVP Protests at Ashoka University Over Remarks

New Delhi, May 26 (PTI): The student organization Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) staged a protest at Ashoka University on Monday, demanding swift disciplinary action against Professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad.

The protest was initiated in response to allegedly objectionable remarks made by Professor Mahmudabad regarding the Indian Army and the nation amid the recent India-Pakistan tensions, as stated by ABVP.

"The university administration has asked for two days to address these demands, assuring a response following internal deliberations," noted the statement.

ABVP contends that the professor’s comments not only disrespected the armed forces but also posed a threat to national unity and integrity.

On May 21, the Supreme Court granted bail to Mahmudabad but did not halt the investigation, allowing legal proceedings to continue.

ABVP has sharply criticized the Ashoka University administration for failing to take disciplinary action against the professor, accusing it of indirectly endorsing anti-national sentiments, which they argue undermines patriotic values.

The protestors expressed their dissatisfaction with the university administration, chanting slogans and pledging to uphold the nation's unity.

ABVP has issued three main demands to the administration: immediate suspension and disciplinary action against the professor, a public apology from the university for its perceived support of anti-national views, and the implementation of strict measures to prevent future incidents.

If the university does not act quickly and appropriately, ABVP warns it will amplify the protest into a large-scale state-level movement.
